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, complete your profile with your practice areas, languages, and fee packages, and upload your current Hong Kong practising certificate. Our team will verify your certificate against the Law Society register — once approved, your profile goes live.

Listing is free during our launch period. Verified profiles appear in search at no cost and there is no commission on your legal fees. Paid plans for sponsored placement will be introduced later.

Premium subscribers appear in a sponsored slot at the top of relevant search results. Sponsored placements are always clearly labelled as 'Sponsored' with a disclosure that it is a paid placement, not a ranking by quality. Organic results remain ordered by relevance.

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.
