There are 2 types of lawyers in Hong Kong: Solicitors and Barristers. Generally speaking, solicitors provide a wider range of services, ranging from litigation to preparing various types of legal documents. Barristers tend to focus on Court appearances and in depth legal research.
就出庭發言權而言,大律師可在上至終審法院,高等法院上訴法庭及原訟法庭,區域法院,下至區域法院,裁判法院及土地審裁處發言;而事務律師則在裁判法院,土地審裁處及區域法院有發言權,以及在高等法院的部分聆訊有發言權。
It is worth to note that as a lay client, you cannot instruct a barrister directly, but you must do it through your solicitor.
即使在裁判法院,絕大部分審訊依然由事務律師延聘大律師處理。而本行主任陳柏豪律師是香港為數不多,會常在刑事審訊出庭抗辯及檢控的事務律師。因此,在合適的案件中,你可以節省額外聘請大律師的費用。
在一些較複雜或較嚴重案件,你可能希望聘請大律師代表出庭或給予法律意見。本行律師有豐富經驗聘請不同年資的大律師,包括多位著名的資深大律師 (Senior Counsel),在各級法院進行審訊及上訴工作。
