SHEUNG WAN, Hong Kong - Sept. 22, 2022 - PRLog -- JC Legal relocated its office to Strand 50, Sheung Wan, in June 2022 with an expanding team. This marked the law firm's second move in 4 years and a sign of its extraordinary growth as one of the top 30 fastest-growing firms in Asia, despite prolonged disruptions by the pandemic. Ms Janice Chew, Principal of JC Legal, remarks on the milestone, "It's never easy as a startup and boutique firm, especially under such global crisis, but I am really proud that our team made it, and I am so excited for everything that awaits."

The team is dedicated and committed to doing greater things through bespoke services at a bigger space. Thanks to the continuous support of clients and strategic partners, JC Legal is shortlisted for multiple entries at the Kingfisher ALB Hong Kong Law Awards 2022:

In 2020, JC Legal launched the Virtual Legal Clinic to ease the public frustration for not being able to consult a lawyer face-to-face. The Virtual Legal Clinic enables anyone to ask a lawyer online for as brief as 20 minutes for instant directions at a fraction of hourly rates and pay online by credit card. With positive feedbacks from clients, JC Legal now offers an additional loyalty privilege to waive the consultation fee for clients who engage legal service within 7 days after the Virtual Legal Clinic.

The Virtual Legal Clinic has won multiple recognitions, such as the Gold Award for Best Service to Combat and Reduce the Impact of COVID-19 at the 2022 CEO and Executive World Awards. Ms Janice Chew, as the mastermind behind the initiative, received a Bronze Award for Executive Hero of the Year – Effective Leadership During COVID-19.
