About KCL

Since January 2017, KLC & Partners (formerly detached from a prominent 18-year Central District firm) has operated as a formidable, full-swing legal force in Hong Kong. Led by Senior Partner Nelson K.C. Liu, our progressive team remains entirely intact, blending decades of institutional heritage with adaptive, forward-thinking strategy.

Today, our team of over 10 Associates, 3 Partners, and a dedicated 40-strong supporting staff provides premium advisory and tier-one litigation expertise across civil, commercial, criminal, IPO, and corporate matters.

OUR STANDARD

Counsel that reads the commercial picture – not just the legal one.

A commercial dispute is rarely just a legal problem. It is a cashflow problem, a relationship problem, and a reputation problem at once. KCL helps clients see all three before deciding how to act.
