Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
OLN takes its CSR role very seriously, especially as a corporate citizen in Hong Kong, and we actively encourage all of our staff to participate across a wide range of community projects.
Our History
OLN was established in 1987 by Gordon Oldham with the goal of providing both quality legal advice and practical legal solutions to the business community.
For the past 20 years, the firm has been based in St. George’s Building, situated in the heart of Hong Kong’s central business district. In over 30 years the firm has grown into a sophisticated and high-quality legal practice which provides legal and business solutions for all commercial situations in Hong Kong and the PRC.
OLN now boasts an ever growing team of over 40 lawyers, and in 2007 it opened a branch office in Shanghai so that it can better serve its clients’ PRC business needs.
Despite OLN’s growth over the past two decades, and the broadening of its local and international client base and legal capabilities, it has continued to remain true to its founding principles of practical legal solutions for the business world whilst contributing to the community.
