About us

Kennedys is one of the leading litigation firms in Hong Kong, dedicated to the conduct and resolution of disputes through negotiation, litigation, arbitration or mediation. Our lawyers provide a range of specialist legal services for many industries including insurance (general and life) and reinsurance, maritime and international trade, healthcare and construction.

We also have an established corporate and commercial department, employment and information technology teams.

We are regarded as leaders, not just because we have some of the most respected legal minds in their field - but because we know it's important to be practical, commercial and approachable. We give clear legal advice. That means:

Answers - not just more questions
Recommendations - not just options
Strategy and tactics - not just a legal view in a vacuum
Clear English - not legalese, clauses and caveats

Of course we care about the law but we're also here to make your life easier by making the law make sense for your business. We call this:
