The Legislative Council held its first-ever election, poignant drama <em>Homecoming<\/em> was the major winner at the Hong Kong Film Awards and Ecuador\u2019s Andr\u00e9s G\u00f3mez won the Seiko Super Tennis tournament at Victoria Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, legal professionals Melville Boase and Colin Cohen, who had become friends and work colleagues in the preceding couple of years, decided to start their own practice. Thus, the law firm that would eventually be called Boase Cohen &amp; Collins was launched, with offices in the relatively new Dominion Centre in Wanchai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, still based in the same building, but having greatly expanded and now firmly established as an integral part of this city\u2019s legal landscape, we celebrate our 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have witnessed historic events and considerable change in Hong Kong over the past four decades but, I\u2019m delighted to say, our firm has been a constant reassuring presence,\u201d reflects Colin, Senior Partner since 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn those early days, Mel and I never imagined BC&amp;C would still be prospering 40 years later, but we are delighted to reach this milestone. We would like to thank the many outstanding legal professionals, support staff and loyal clients who have contributed to our story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mel, who retired from BC&amp;C in 2019, adds: \u201cFrom the outset, we wanted to be firmly grounded in the community, nurturing homegrown legal talent and assisting those most in need of justice. This ethos has served the firm well and long may it continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hailing from Falmouth in Cornwall, Mel came to Hong Kong in 1977 as a Crown Counsel for the government, entering private practice after completing his three-year tenure. Colin arrived from London in 1981, initially to teach law at the University of Hong Kong, before choosing to take on casework, since when he has become a familiar figure in the highest levels of Hong Kong\u2019s legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing Partner Alex Liu, who first joined BC&amp;C as a trainee more than 30 years ago, will oversee the anniversary celebrations. He says: \u201cMel and Colin are to be congratulated for their vision and commitment which have brought our firm to this 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. In keeping with our nature, we intend marking it with community outreach and charitable initiatives rather than lavish celebrations. Rest assured though, we will be raising a glass to this landmark occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong, 10 March 2025: Flashback to 1985 and there w [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-55"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
