We are proud to celebrate our Senior Consultant, Ms. Ella Cheong JP, for her contribution to the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2025 Report, which benchmarks rule-of-law performance across more than 140 jurisdictions worldwide.

Hong Kong ranked 19th globally and 4th in the East Asia and Pacific region, earning strong scores across key pillars such as regulatory enforcement, civil justice, and order and security — all thanks to its well-established legal system, alignment with international standards, and a deep pool of experienced legal professionals. These strengths reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a fair, reliable, and well-connected legal hub.

The city’s robust rule of law framework continues to underpin its unique advantages as a “super connector” between Mainland China and the rest of the world — anchoring its status as a trusted centre for international business and dispute resolution.

This recognition highlights Ms. Cheong’s ongoing dedication to advancing legal scholarship and promoting the rule of law both locally and internationally. Her decades of leadership and integrity continue to inspire generations of legal professionals.
