In September 2024, Hong Kong returned to the top 3 of global financial centres and no.1 financial centre in Asia. To coincide with this, we have seen a marked increase in recruitment activity among law firms in the last quarter, including legal support roles.

In anticipation of increased demand for human resources professionals as we head into 2025, Star Anise, a leading legal and compliance recruitment firm based in Hong Kong, is inviting highly skilled Human Resource Advisors to register or get in touch with their updated CVs and to have the opportunity to be one of the first professionals to join one of our clients, primarily international law firms with a strong presence in China and the APAC market and leading in-house legal teams.
