The development stage is broader! How can Hong Kong and Macao lawyers explore new possibilities in mainland practice?
2023-07-10
In the joint venture law firm in Nansha District, Guangzhou, three Macao lawyers dressed in brand new robes solemnly received their lawyer's practice certificates (Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area); In the court of the People's Court of Pengjiang District, Jiangmen City, Jiang Xuemei, a lawyer from Macao's Dawan District, debated around the focus of the dispute; In Qianhai Shenzhen Hong Kong International Legal Affairs Zone, Hong Kong and Macao lawyers are carefully listening to the "Bay Area Lawyers Lecture Hall"... countless similar scenes, which flash the way of Hong Kong and Macao lawyers' practice in the mainland: in August 2020, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress voted to approve the decision of nine mainland cities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area to carry out the pilot practice of Hong Kong and Macao lawyers; In October 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued pilot measures for Hong Kong legal practitioners and Macau practicing lawyers to obtain mainland practicing qualifications and engage in the legal profession; In November 2020, the online registration for the lawyer's practice examination in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area in 2021 was launched... At the beginning of July last year, the Provincial Department of Justice issued lawyer's practice certificates to the first four Hong Kong and Macao lawyers (Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area). Since the pilot work was carried out, more than 300 Hong Kong and Macao lawyers have successfully obtained their licenses, and several influential lawyers in the legal community of Hong Kong and Macao have practiced at nine mainland law firms in the Greater Bay Area, ushering in a broader stage. They are the "big case" of Hong Kong and Macao, able to speak and argue in court, fully leveraging their familiarity with common law and the legal advantages of Portuguese speaking countries and regions, and helping to promote the "soft connectivity" of the Greater Bay Area; They are "migratory birds" from two places, constantly growing up, experiencing the "hard connectivity" of the Greater Bay Area during their round-trip journey, and gaining new professional experiences; They are "practical advisors" who use their rich professional experience and advantages to find new development opportunities for more Hong Kong and Macao lawyers, actively participate in the construction of the rule of law in mainland China, and integrate into the overall development of the country. Junius Ho, a lawyer at "001", Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, wrote and painted on his notebook in Guangdong Guangxin Junda Law Firm, located in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, who is familiar with mainland legal lawyers and works hard to regain their student status. On that day, he came from Hong Kong to Guangzhou and made an appointment with the party involved. The other party was unable to obtain authorization to enter large shopping malls due to disputes, which seriously affected the business of the enterprise. After several rounds of talks with Junius Ho, the dispute was clarified one by one by Junius Ho, and the parties' eyebrows were stretched out, with confidence. Professional ability is the foundation of a lawyer. In July 2022, Junius Ho successfully "received the certificate". A few months later, the verdict of his first case in mainland China came into effect, and the "first battle" was won. A civil dispute case involving Hong Kong and mainland China that has lasted for many years has been settled. To stand in a strange court in the mainland, release confidence, dare to argue, be good at arguing, and be clear in arguing. For lawyers in the Greater Bay Area like Junius Ho, they need to overcome challenges. Getting the 'admission ticket' to enter the court is the first challenge. According to the relevant requirements of the pilot work, Hong Kong and Macao lawyers need to participate in the relevant legal knowledge training organized by the Ministry of Justice before registering for the lawyer practice exam in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area; After passing the exam, one must participate in the centralized training organized by the Guangdong Lawyers Association and pass the assessment before applying for a practicing certificate.
