Legal Documents for Hong Kong
Create free legal documents tailored to Hong Kong law. All templates comply with local legislation.
Legal System
Common law system based on English legal tradition, governed by the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle. Key legislation includes the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap. 7), Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap. 219), Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486), and the Wills Ordinance (Cap. 30). Both English and Traditional Chinese are official languages with equal legal force.
Hong Kong remains a pure common-law jurisdiction under the Basic Law, with commercial life organised by well-known Ordinances: the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) for companies, the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) for employment rights, the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) for data, and the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553) recognising electronic signatures. Contract drafting follows English-style practice, and the courts enforce agreements as written.
Hong Kong templates in this library cite the relevant Ordinance chapter numbers directly — an NDA or SaaS agreement flags the PDPO where personal data flows, employment contracts track Cap. 57 entitlements, and company documents follow Cap. 622 mechanics. Both English and Chinese are official languages; these English templates match the language most Hong Kong commercial documents are executed in.
