Our Principal Solicitor, Muhammad Kamran Chaudhry, will attend the 12th Biennial IBA Global Immigration Conference in London from 4 to 6 November 2026, presented by the IBA Immigration and Nationality Law Committee.
Chaudhry Solicitors advises individuals, families and employers on Hong Kong immigration matters, including talent admission schemes, employment and investment visas, dependant visas and residence applications. Many of our clients have ties to South Asia, the Gulf and the UK, and their matters often involve more than one jurisdiction.
Kamran would welcome the chance to meet fellow delegates, particularly practitioners working on:
• Mobility into and out of Hong Kong
• Employer compliance for internationally mobile staff
• Matters with links to Pakistan, the Gulf or South Asia
If you are attending and would like to arrange a coffee or a short conversation, please send us a message here or email [email protected].

We are pleased to share that our team successfully represented D1 and D2 in a three-day Magistrates’ Court trial.

Following the close of the prosecution case, the Court upheld the defence submissions of no case to answer and dismissed the summonses against both defendants.

Our principal Chaudhry M Kamran appearing for D1 and Ahmed Ashfaq appearing for D2.

For Ahmed Ashfaq this was his first Trial on his feet—a significant professional milestone and an invaluable advocacy experience.

We are proud of the careful preparation, focused cross-examination, and clear submissions that contributed to this result.

Acquittal in an illegal employment case at Sha Tin Magistrates' Courts
Our client faced a charge under sections 38AA(1)(b) and 38AA(2) of the Immigration Ordinance, Cap 115, of taking employment while a removal order was in force. The court dismissed the charge and awarded costs to the defendant.
The case turned on a point that arises often and is often misunderstood. Being seen to do something that looks like work is not the same thing as being employed.
The Court of First Instance has said so more than once. In HKSAR v Hari Arshdeep Singh [2019] HKCFI 1979 the court held that there must be something more than an observation of somebody merely carrying out work before the inference of employment can be drawn. In HKSAR v Husnain Arif [2023] HKCFI 698 a conviction was set aside where the goods said to have been handled were never seized and no owner could be identified. In HKSAR v Asjad Baig [2019] HKCFI 148 the court held that suspicion is not the same as an irresistible inference.
Employment is a relationship. Like every other element of an offence, it has to be proved to the criminal standard.
Our Muhammad Kamran Chaudhry appeared for the defendant at trial.

स्वतंत्रता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं — Happy Independence Day.

Today India marks 79 years of independence. For the Indian community in Hong Kong — present here since the city's earliest days, in trade, in the professions, in public life — it is a day that looks in two directions at once: back towards a homeland, and around at a city that has become home.

At Chaudhry Solicitors we act for clients from across South Asia and beyond, and we have learned that justice travels well when someone is willing to speak your language, literally and otherwise.

Warm wishes to all who are celebrating today.

A significant addition to our team.

Rana Intezar has joined Chaudhry Solicitors as a Registered Foreign Lawyer, following completion of his registration with The Law Society of Hong Kong.

Many in the profession will know him as a former President of the Lahore Bar Association and a former Member of the Punjab Bar Council — roles he held with real distinction. He now brings that experience to Hong Kong.

He leads our work on matters involving Pakistan law and advises private and corporate clients navigating both jurisdictions: succession and property in Pakistan, cross-border commercial arrangements, family matters, and the many questions our clients bring us that sit in between the two legal systems.

For a firm built on serving Hong Kong's multilingual communities, this is exactly the kind of strength we have wanted to add.

Welcome aboard, Rana Sahib.

14 August — Pakistan's 79th Independence Day.

A day to honour a nation's freedom, and to acknowledge the Pakistani community that has made Hong Kong its home for generations.

Our thanks to our clients, colleagues and partners across Hong Kong who work alongside us every day. Different origins, shared city, common commitment to justice.

Warm wishes to all who are celebrating.
