Company Formation & Corporate Services
Every company incorporated in Hong Kong must comply with a number of legal requirements and must have a Company Secretary. Overseas companies which establish a place of business in Hong Kong must also register in Hong Kong and comply with certain requirements. Careful attention is required to comply with the often complex provisions of relevant ordinances applicable to Hong Kong and overseas companies. The variety of duties, documentation and overall legal requirements of a company is a specialised area. Penalties exist for breaches under the various ordinances which provide further reasons to be certain that company affairs are in good hands.

Deacons' Extranet Service
Technology is having a tremendous influence on the legal professional, particularly on the way that services are delivered. Deacons is widely recognised as an innovator in the application of technology to legal services and provides Corporate Services clients with a dedicated, 24x7 online access to a secure extranet facility. This feature puts the firm well ahead of any other competitor in terms of service. No matter where in the world you are, you will be able to have real-time access to matter-related information, including:
-
the latest versions of documents and up to date information on your company;
-
account management - latest time charged and costs, billing and payment history;
-
profiles and contact information of your Deacons team.
Clients will be able to access all Certificates of Incorporation and Business Registration, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Registers, Statutory Filings (since 1999) and Minute Books (since 1994) through Deacons' Extranet Site. Summary corporate data, email correspondence and financial information are also provided, in a user-friendly format.
Deacons' Extranet Service can also be customised for each client to include information about other important company documents and to automatically send clients timely reminders about renewal of commercial contracts, employee contracts, trade marks, leases and so on. In fact, any important company contract, document, file or record with an expiry and/or renewal date can be included.
Access to the Extranet Site can only be made by way of clients' confidential password. Different access entitlements can be given to different people. Clients' information is hosted on a Deacons server that is housed internally, where access is controlled by end-to-end encryption with the added facility of access tracking reports, reporting who viewed what pages and when.
