Testimonials
What our Clients Say
Alfred Ip is very creative. We have benefited from his responsive attitude throughout our retainer with him. He achieved our mandate phenomenally and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with a similar issue. He has a stellar reputation in trust and estate, and this reputation is well deserved. He is one of the smartest lawyers I have ever met, and he has turned things around since he was on board. I would call him ‘Prince of Trust’, not only because of his practice area but also because he has my trust!

They have a significant amount of experience in anti-discrimination law in an employment context and have assisted employees as well as employers in disputes concerning sexual harassment, sex/family status discrimination, race discrimination and disability discrimination. They have assisted their clients throughout the litigation process with involvement in drafting the pleadings at the outset all the way to trial and appeals (where necessary).
I was very impressed with the level of service I received from Hugill & Ip. They were extremely knowledgeable, responsive and professional, and helped me navigate some complex probate issues with ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.
Kajal Aswani is very experience and gives excellent strategic advice. She is highly respected and always gives sensible and strategic advice to her clients.
I needed some document notarised and processed for use overseas and Hugill & Ip were, by far, the most professional and efficient firm I’ve come across in Hong Kong. The Notary Manager I dealt with (Ms Miu) was outstanding. She was very personable, exhaustive in explaining the process, and kept me posted on completion of each step, which was highly appreciated. Truly excellent customer service.
