When you eat off the land you disenfranchise your children.
When you give more than you take, you will certainly be rewarded in time; maybe in kind, but always in abundance.
Vivien Chan & Co.’s most valuable resource is its people. The firm believes that each and every lawyer can make a difference within his or her respective community.
We are and have been honorary legal advisors to numerous charities and NGOs including:- UNICEF (Hong Kong Committee)
- Hong Kong Adventure Corps
- Hong Kong Arts Centre
- Zuni Icosahedron Limited
- Direct Selling Association of Hong Kong Limited
Commitment to public service
Our senior partner, Vivien Chan, believes lawyers have special obligations to the administration of justice, and the well being of society. This belief is independent of political orientation – it is the foundation of the firm’s culture.
We are proud that many of our lawyers have served the public in diverse ways, as professional leaders, chairs of statutory boards and advisory boards, educators, charitable volunteers.
