DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW PRACTICE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of stressful life events, divorce undoubtedly is one of the most stressful. At OLN, we pride ourselves on the ability to work with clients through emotional and financial upheavals and to minimise its adverse effect on the parties, the children and the finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong raises specific issues requiring a great deal of skill and resourcefulness in matrimonial matters as international elements feature prominently here. Whether because the husband and wife hail from different countries or because their joint property and assets are held outside of Hong Kong, this international element has now become a frequent factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With offshore companies, overseas properties, conflicting laws, international custody issues and schooling, it is now more critical than ever for clients to feel that their lawyer is familiar with every aspect of their matrimonial situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLN\u2019s highly regarded Divorce and Family Law practice is headed by Stephen Peaker<\/a> and was set up when he joined the Firm in 2000. The Practice quickly expanded with the addition of Paul Firmin<\/a> in 2002, Pamy Kuo<\/a> in 2006, and Yvonne Kong<\/a> in 2011, who continue to be partners in the Family Law department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the Divorce and Family Law team are members of the Hong Kong Family Law Association (Stephen was former Vice-Chairman) and in accordance with the HKFLA\u2019s Code of Conduct are committed to a conciliatory and constructive approach, rather than a hostile or confrontational one. Stephen and Pamy are Fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL<\/a>), a worldwide association of practising lawyers who are recognised by their peers as the most experienced and skilled family law specialists in their respective countries. In addition, Stephen is also an Associate Member of Resolution<\/a> in the UK, a member of The Family Law Section, Law Council of Australia<\/a> and the Hong Kong Collaborative Practice Group<\/a>, as well as the exclusive IR Global<\/a> advisor for Family Law in Hong Kong since 2023, together with Senior Associate Ivan Lee<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLN’s Divorce and Family Law practice has access to the top matrimonial lawyers worldwide through the IAFL, access to the top matrimonial lawyers in the UK through Resolution and access to the top matrimonial lawyers in Australia. We have the assistance of colleagues in the Firm’s Commercial and Litigation Department and through our membership of Globalaw<\/a>, access to major law firms in major cities worldwide, and through our association with Watson & Band, access to the major cities across the Mainland China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
