Frequently asked questions

No. Lawdar is an advertising directory connecting you with verified Hong Kong solicitors. We do not provide legal advice and are not a party to any engagement between you and a solicitor.

Every lawyer listed on Lawdar must upload their current practising certificate. Our team verifies it against the Law Society of Hong Kong register before the profile goes live.

No. Lawdar never collects, holds, or processes legal fees. You arrange and pay fees directly with the solicitor. The prices shown on profiles are the solicitor's own published fees.

Only clients who have completed a consultation booked through Lawdar can leave a review. Each review is tied to a specific booking. This ensures reviews are from real clients with genuine experience.

Yes — creating a booking request on Lawdar is free. The consultation fee is paid directly to the solicitor at their published rate. There is no platform fee for clients.

If you have a concern after a consultation, you can raise a dispute on the booking from your dashboard. Our team will review it and help facilitate a resolution.

Register for a lawyer account with your law firm email address (not Gmail or other personal inboxes), complete your profile with your practice areas, languages, and fee packages, and upload your current Hong Kong practising certificate. We verify your name against the Law Society register and confirm your email domain matches your firm — once approved, your profile goes live.

Your email domain must match your law firm (e.g. @deacons.com.hk for Deacons). This helps us confirm you belong to the firm you list. Personal addresses such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook cannot pass verification — register with the same email you use at your firm.

Listing is free once your certificate is verified — your profile appears in search at no cost. There is no commission on your legal fees.

You do. You write and edit your own profile, set your own fee packages, and manage your own availability. Lawdar verifies your credentials but you own your profile content.

You remain responsible for all content on your profile under the Promotion Code. This includes ensuring no 'expert' claims, no success-rate references, and no comparisons carrying adverse implications about other solicitors. Lawdar provides the platform; you are responsible for your own promotion.

Yes — clients who complete a consultation booked through Lawdar can leave a review. Reviews are moderated and framed as the client's own opinion. Per-review star ratings are shown but never aggregated into a competitive ranking against other lawyers.
