Hong Kong’s Department of Justice has set up a 13-member expert committee to advise on strategies for promoting the city’s legal and professional services sector to mainland Chinese businesses seeking to expand overseas.
Cheung said the committee would gather “strategic advice from members of different professional services sectors” to help mainland enterprises.
The justice department said the 13 members would serve a two-year term and comprise experts from the legal, financial and accounting sectors from the mainland and Hong Kong, as well as business and corporate representatives.
Among the members for the first two-year term were Legislative Councillor Maggie Chan Man-ki and Hong Kong Trade Development Council deputy executive director Patrick Lau Hui-ping.
The department said the committee would provide advice and help on enhancing the understanding of the needs of mainland enterprises expanding overseas.
