The document summarizes trends in the Hong Kong legal job market and compensation. It finds that demand remains strong for mid-level in-house corporate lawyers, particularly those with experience in China or regulatory compliance. Law firms are struggling to retain junior associates as many pursue perceived better career prospects and work-life balance in-house. There has also been an increase in newly created sole legal roles in organizations seeking to strengthen their legal functions regionally. Salaries generally increase 5-10% annually, with larger bumps for career changes, and ranges from HKD$40,000-150,000 depending on experience level.
