⚖️ A significant change is coming to Hong Kong's legal landscape, and it matters for anyone doing business across borders. 🌏

On 28 May 2026, Hong Kong's Judiciary announced plans for the Hong Kong International Commercial Court (HKICC), a new specialist branch of the High Court built to handle large, complex, cross-border commercial disputes. Instead of sitting in the general queue of the Court of First Instance, these cases will be heard in a forum designed specifically for them, with experienced judges, tighter case management, and a strong emphasis on digital services. 💻

🤝 Jal N. Karbhari advises individuals and businesses on commercial disputes and cross-border matters, and works with specialist counsel where complex international litigation is involved. As the HKICC takes shape, we can help you understand how it may affect your contracts and your risk.

Signed it. Sealed it. Sent it. Rejected. ✉️❌

A genuine signature is often not enough for a Hong Kong document to be accepted overseas. Banks, courts, and foreign authorities usually want independent proof that your document is properly authenticated.

That means understanding the difference between:
🔹 Notarisation
🔹 Apostille
🔹 Consular Attestation
🔹 Mainland China authentication

Each one does something different, and using the wrong one can cost you a deal, a deadline, or a court date.

Non-Compete Clauses, When Your Contract Tries to Control Your Future

Can an employment contract really stop you from joining a competitor years later, even if you signed it on your first day in a junior role?

The Hong Kong District Court decision in Moxie Communications Limited v Lai Cheuk Lok [2024] HKDC 1323 is a reminder that restrictive covenants are not automatically enforceable just because they appear in a signed contract. In that case, the court refused to enforce a two-year non-compete and an indefinite non-solicitation clause against a former junior employee, and dismissed the employer’s claim with indemnity costs.

For employees, it is a useful reminder that broad restrictions may not survive judicial scrutiny. For employers, it shows how overreaching drafting can backfire.

Service on the Blockchain — When Traditional Service Isn't an Option

How do you serve a court writ on someone who exists only as a wallet address? No name. No address. No jurisdiction. Just a string of characters on a blockchain.

Our partner, Yezdi Karbhari, recently navigated exactly that challenge and successfully obtained a court order for substituted service by way of tokenisation, allowing legal documents to be delivered directly to a defendant's crypto wallet. ⚖️🔗

Hong Kong courts are adapting fast, and victims of crypto fraud now have real tools to fight back.

At Jal N. Karbhari Solicitors & Notary, we have always believed that the law should be accessible, understandable and relevant to the community it serves. In keeping with that commitment, we are pleased to introduce our new blog series, Defining for the Everyman (the “Everyman Series”).

This series has been created to break down legal barriers by explaining legal concepts, procedures, and developments in clear, practical and accessible terms. Too often, legal issues are perceived as overly technical or difficult to understand. Through the Everyman Series, we aim to simplify those complexities and present legal information in a way that is meaningful and approachable for members of the public.

The series is also intended to keep the public informed, aware, and up to date on important legal issues and developments which may affect individuals, families, and businesses in Hong Kong.

By making legal knowledge more accessible, we hope to empower the community with greater confidence and understanding when navigating legal matters.

We look forward to sharing the first instalment with you shortly.
