Short answer: For bankruptcy and insolvency matters in Hong Kong, 24 Legal Service leads on volume (4.9 stars, 182 reviews), with 陳柏豪律師 (CPH Legal) close behind at 4.9 from 157 reviews. Both handle personal and business insolvency situations. Consultations are typically free or low-cost; expect hourly or fixed-fee billing once a case opens.

  • Handles substantial cases, including recoveries running into six figures
  • 24-hour emergency contact line
  • Nearly a perfect rating across 157 reviews

Worth knowing

Our take: Strong all-round litigation reputation with an emergency line that helps if a filing deadline is close. Confirm the specific solicitor assigned has handled insolvency matters, since the public reviews lean toward other practice areas.

葉謝鄧律師行 - 旺角雅蘭辦事處

4.6147 Google reviews

葉謝鄧律師行 (Yip, Tse & Tang) runs a Mong Kok office and lists bankruptcy attorney among its practice areas alongside conveyancing, divorce, and notary services. It is a long-established general practice firm rather than an insolvency boutique, and reviewers most often describe property transactions and will preparation rather than debt cases specifically.

What people praise

  • Convenient Mong Kok location with Saturday hours
  • Reviewers praise individual solicitors by name for patience and clear explanations
  • Handles the paperwork-heavy side of legal work efficiently

Worth knowing

  • A general practice rather than an insolvency specialist, and the rating trails the other names here
  • Public reviews reference notarial and property work more than bankruptcy cases

Our take: Worth a call if you want a firm under one roof for a bankruptcy filing plus related property or family matters, but ask specifically how many insolvency cases the assigned lawyer has run.

Chaudhry Solicitors

5.076 Google reviews

Chaudhry Solicitors is a Tsim Sha Tsui law firm led by Kamran Chaudhry, practising criminal litigation, civil litigation, family law, immigration and wills and probate for a client base that skews toward Hong Kong's South Asian community. Multiple reviewers mention the firm working with them on a payment basis that accounted for financial hardship, a detail worth noting if cost is a factor in an insolvency matter.

What people praise

  • Perfect 5.0 rating across every review on the page
  • Reviewers describe genuine flexibility on fees for clients under financial strain
  • Multilingual team, useful for non-Cantonese speakers navigating a Hong Kong court process

Worth knowing

  • Smaller review base than the busier firms on this page, and the visible reviews focus on immigration and criminal matters rather than insolvency

Our take: The perfect rating and a track record of working with clients on cost make this a name worth a call, especially if language or budget flexibility matters. Confirm insolvency experience directly since it is not the practice area reviewers describe most.

Our take: The only firm here that names insolvency and restructuring as a dedicated practice area, which matters if the case involves a company or cross-border assets rather than a straightforward personal filing.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data captured on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the firm’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many clients have rated them, ranked against other Hong Kong lawyers in this practice area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from 182 people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No firm can pay to change these numbers.

What does a bankruptcy lawyer cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

Fees for personal bankruptcy filings and company winding-up work in Hong Kong vary widely by case complexity, whether court appearances are needed, and whether creditors are contesting the filing. Most firms above offer an initial consultation to scope the case before quoting.

Serving all of Hong Kong

The firms above are based across Central, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Admiralty, and most take instructions from clients across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories by phone or video call before an in-person meeting. Searching for a bankruptcy lawyer near me? Every listing shows a live phone number so you can call directly.

What to ask before you hire a bankruptcy lawyer

  • Have you personally handled a case like mine, personal filing or company winding-up?
  • What is the realistic timeline once we file, and what happens if a creditor objects?
  • Is the fee fixed, hourly, or staged by milestone, and what triggers extra charges?
  • Will you personally handle my case or hand it to a junior solicitor after the consultation?
  • What happens to my assets, and which ones are protected under Hong Kong law?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these bankruptcy lawyers?

We started from law firms in Hong Kong with a public Google presence that list bankruptcy, insolvency or restructuring work, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What is the difference between personal bankruptcy and company winding-up in Hong Kong?

Personal bankruptcy applies to an individual unable to pay debts, while winding-up is the formal process for closing an insolvent company. The firms above handle both, but ask which type of case a solicitor has direct experience with.

Do I need a lawyer to file for bankruptcy in Hong Kong?

It is possible to file without one, but a solicitor experienced in insolvency can help you understand your options, meet court deadlines, and respond correctly if a creditor contests the filing.

The bottom line

24 Legal Service and CPH Legal lead on sheer review volume and rating, but Oldham, Li & Nie is the only firm here that names insolvency and restructuring as a dedicated practice, which matters most for company or cross-border cases. Whichever you call, ask directly about their bankruptcy caseload before committing.
