NewLaw: An increasingly popular career choice The advantages of flexible work schedules

The ability to choose your working hours and clients; step away from permanent employee status and yet still earn a competitive salary are huge draws for an increasing number of lawyers particularly those working in major global financial centres such as Hong Kong, Singapore, London and New York.  These reasons, especially the flexible work schedule, are why NewLaw companies are becoming an increasingly popular ‘home’ for lawyers and they particularly appeal to women and trailing spouses in cities with a long working hours culture such as Hong Kong. For these two groups, Hong Kong is a great place to explore new professional and academic pursuits. It is also relatively easy in Hong Kong (when compared to other countries) to gain a dependent (spousal) work visa and pursue wide ranging commercial opportunities. These have included setting up businesses ranging from photography; fashion and fitness and for lawyers becoming a consultant with Cognatio Law!
