The Committee considers that if а foreign law firm establishes a Hong Kong law practice then it should not
have other offices in Hong Kong at which it only
practises foreign law, or only practises law in association with other firms. That is not to say that
it cannot have branch offices, but any such offices
must be, and be clearly seen to be, under the control
of the individuals held out as partners in the Hong
Kong law practice and the proposed ratio test of 1:1
would apply to the entire practice of the foreign law firm in Hong Kong for so long as it had a Hong Kong law
practice.
