Asian Legal Business is pleased to announce that submissions for the Hong Kong Law Awards 2025 are now open, with entries being accepted until May 16, 2025.
Moreover, this year marks a significant evolution in the awards process, as we introduce a streamlined online submission platform developed in collaboration with Thomson Reuters’ HighQ legal solutions. This new system centralises all submission categories in one user-friendly interface, allowing participants to easily navigate the process while ensuring standardisation and integrity across all entries.
“The Hong Kong legal market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and innovation, and we’re committed to evolving our awards process to reflect the dynamic nature of the industry,” says Amantha Chia, senior director of Legal Media Group at Thomson Reuters. “Our new submission platform represents our dedication to excellence and efficiency, providing a seamless experience for the record number of participants we anticipate this year.”
The 2025 edition introduces exciting new categories that reflect the growing importance of the Greater Bay Area in the legal landscape. These include GBA Law Firm of the Year (Hong Kong), GBA Law Firm of the Year (Macau), and GBA Law Firm of the Year (PRC), offering expanded opportunities for recognition across this vital economic region.
The ALB Hong Kong Law Awards have become an essential platform for showcasing innovation, expertise, and outstanding client service across the full spectrum of legal practice. As we approach nearly a quarter-century of celebrating legal excellence in Hong Kong, we invite all law firms and in-house teams to submit their achievements for consideration in this prestigious competition.
The awards ceremony scheduled on September 12, 2025 will bring together the region’s most influential legal professionals for an evening of recognition and networking.
