It’s thrilling to share some exciting news – Hugill & Ip is moving!
A new week, a new chapter: everyone at the firm will be settling into our new home on an entire floor of Six Pacific Place, part of the Swire Properties portfolio.
This move represents more than just a change of address. It’s about creating a space that truly reflects who Hugill & Ip is as a firm – one that blends professional excellence with personal connections.
A space designed with purpose
Hugill & Ip partnered with Area-17 Architecture & Interiors, the renowned Italian design studio founded in Florence, to craft an office that tells our story. With their international perspective (from their roots in Italy to projects across Asia) and keen understanding of how spaces shape interactions, they’ve helped the firm create something unique.
The design subtly weaves together:
- Italian elegance with Hong Kong’s dynamic energy of its icons
- Warm, approachable materials that feel both professional and welcoming
- Smart, sustainable solutions that align with Swire Properties’ commitments to ESG standards
“It’s been fascinating to see how Area-17 translated our firm’s personality into physical space,” shares Adam Hugill. “They understood immediately that we wanted somewhere that would feel both impressive and inviting – where serious work happens but never feels stuffy. The move isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s a strategic step forward. With room for expanding teams, advanced tech integrations, and client-friendly meeting spaces, the new office is designed to support Hugill & Ip’s next phase of growth.”
Why this matters
For those who’ve worked with the firm before, you’ll find the same Hugill & Ip approach – just in a space that better supports how they serve clients and their own workforce:
- Thoughtful meeting areas designed for real conversation, not just formal presentations
- Spaces that adapt to how you want to work – whether that’s a quiet discussion or a collaborative session
- All the little touches (yes, including proper coffee) that make working together a pleasure
As Caroline McNally puts it: “The best legal solutions come from really understanding people – and now we’ll have a space that helps those connections happen naturally. The design team and contractors that lead the project helped us create somewhere that’s unmistakably professional but doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
The Hugill & Ip approach
Alfred Ip expressed: “What sets us apart? For years, we’ve built lasting relationships through our work in both corporate and private client matters – not by offering cookie-cutter solutions, but by truly understanding what each client needs. Our team thrives on tackling challenges with creativity and collaboration, always putting relationships first. This move is the natural next step in that journey – a space designed to reflect how we work best: intelligently, personally, and with genuine care for every case.”
A new place to foster collaboration!
Rather than a traditional grand opening, Hugill & Ip will be hosting a series of small personal gatherings in the coming months. Because after all, that’s how the best relationships are built – through real conversations in comfortable spaces.
Watch this space for upcoming events the firm is planning to host in the next few months – the whole team can’t wait to welcome everyone to their new home and show you the new Hugill & Ip Dragon Gate!
