Deacons contributed the Hong Kong chapter to Thomson Reuters’ Practical Law Q&A series, “Doing Business in Hong Kong”

Partners Cynthia Chung, Charmaine Koo, Machiuanna Chu and Stefano Mariani as well as Principal Economist-Competition Sharon Pang co-authored the Q&A guide. This Q&A guide gives an overview of key recent developments affecting doing business in Hong Kong as well as an introduction to the legal system; foreign investment, including restrictions, currency regulations and incentives; and business vehicles and their relevant restrictions and liabilities. The guide also summarises the laws regulating employment relationships, including redundancies and mass layoffs, and provides short overviews on competition law; data protection; and product liability and safety. In addition, there are comprehensive summaries on taxation and tax residency; and intellectual property rights over patents, trade marks, registered and unregistered designs.
