Our Firm

The Deacons Difference

Since 1851, we have been developing a unique culture, which blends traditional client care with modern technology and working practices. Our integrity and dedication to the highest service standards is matched by our cosmopolitan nature and commitment to innovation.

  • The resources of our international networks;
  • Three representative offices in Mainland China; and
  • The benefit of our deep knowledge of, and relationships with, Hong Kong’s business community, built up over many years.

It is no surprise that our achievements have been recognised by respected publications, such as Chambers Asia-Pacific and Asian Legal Business, including being voted “Hong Kong’s Law Firm of the Year” and ”Employer of Choice” on numerous occasions.

What really matters to us, however, is what our clients think. And they tell us that what they appreciate most is our ability to understand their businesses and time pressures, and to act as trusted advisors in helping them to take crucial business decisions.
