Family-friendly Halloween Adventures in Hong Kong


40 years ago, when Heliservices was first established, Halloween wasn’t celebrated much in Hong Kong. Nowadays though, the city has fully embraced this spooky American tradition- Halloween is now a major part of the local tourism scene. And if you know where to look, the best view of all the frightful fun is from up above! After all, Heliservices is the best way to explore Hong Kong.

If spooky decorations, cobwebs, and candy are your goals, these celebrations are an absolute must-attend! Here are a few of the family friendly (and kid friendly) festivities you’ll find around the island this month:
 


Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 is proud to support AIDS Concern
2018 Light Up the Night Gala


Dennis Philipse, Co-Chair of the Hong Kong Bid Team that won the rights to host the 2022 Gay Games in Hong Kong and  Betty Grisoni, Gay Games Hong Kong 2022’s Director of Marketing, were thrilled to show their support at the hugely successful 2018 Light Up the Night Gala hosted by AIDS Concern. The Gala sold out every seat at The Langham in Tsim Sha Tsui with over 280 guests attending-- and with their generous support, raising 1.1 million $HKD! This is a huge contribution to support their work on local HIV education, testing and care. Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 is proud to support this amazing organization and their hard work toward achieving TRIPLE ZERO, to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and eliminate stigma for people living with HIV. TRIPLE ZERO means attaining the ultimate victory of ZERO new HIV infections, ZERO stigma for people with HIV and ZERO AIDS deaths.


NewLaw Firms: Advantages and Challenges


NewLaw firms, like Cognatio Law, offer many advantages to their clients such as practical and time sensitive business and risk management solutions at significant cost savings. In addition, the NewLaw model also offers significant benefits for lawyers, such as a flexible work schedule, which contributes to a better work-life balance, and more freedom to choose your working hours and clients. These advantages appeal to both men and women, helping to balance the playing field in a traditionally male-dominated profession. Under the NewLaw business model, gender discrimination issues have been minimised. Clients simply just want the best person for the job.

In particular, many female lawyers are turning to NewLaw practices due to decreased promotion opportunities and the lack of work/life balance within traditional private practice law firms. The ability to spend more time with family/children is one of the main reasons many female lawyers are citing for making the switch to NewLaw.

To find Success in the Current Legal Marketplace, Business and Technology Skills are a Must




The latest NewLaw firm in Hong Kong, Cognatio Law, offers a solutions-driven platform to assist in-house legal teams in Asia that are struggling to reduce costs, headcount and fixed expenses, whilst still meeting clients needs and deadlines. Your business is able to engage our legal and compliance specialists who are available for either one-off assignments and/or ongoing time-critical and sensitive projects, all without having to incur the additional expenses a permanent employee would entail.

There is a widening gap between what traditional law firms offer and what the marketplace is demanding. The NewLaw businesses are more in demand than ever before, due to their flexibility, cost-effective solutions, and willingness to accept newer technologies and systems.  The latest data is showing an definite market shift from law firms (lawyer-centric) to law companies (business/tech-centric). Clients, not lawyers, are now in control, and law firms need to make the transition from their current lawyer-centric partnership model to a customer-focused, technology-based legal services provider.

Business and technology skills are now required tools for any professional services firm which wants to succeed. This is partially due to the pressure prospective clients are under to be “cost-effective”, yet still manage numerous projects and meet required business or regulatory deadlines. Clients are demanding and expecting accurate, efficient, flexible, and cost-effective legal services. Possessing technical legal knowledge alone is now not enough except for a few specialist areas.


To find success in the current legal marketplace, possessing or acquiring new skill sets such as project management, data analytics, business acumen, social media literacy, and technical agility is essential. The more innovative and nimble NewLaw firms are taking note of this, and thus have been able to offer a flexible lawyering business model created to satisfy the ongoing and evolving demands of in-house legal teams. The benefits of hiring NewLaw firms are numerous and an increasing number of APAC based GCs have begun to realise how having expert and flexible help at their fingertips can create an immense impact on being able to meet strict business deadlines in a timely manner, whilst still remain very cost-effective.
About us:
The team at Cognatio Law has over 40 years experience of working with legal, compliance and risk professionals across the Asia Pacific region. If you are in need of additional legal and compliance resources in Hong Kong, please contact us to engage our professional consultancy services.
