Legality of the company’s continued existence and corporate status (good standing).

Board of directors (current composition, appointment authority and any irregularities).
Description of the company’s business activities and legal compliance of those activities under local law.
Company assets (nature, ownership, title issues, encumbrances).
Current tax registration, tax filing and payment status; assessment of whether the company has derived profits that may not have been subject to Hong Kong profits tax (if applicable), the reasons for such a situation, legal consequences and risk of penalties.

Formal requirements for the provider
Lead author must be a licensed/registered practitioner in the chosen jurisdiction and must sign the Legal Opinion.
Provide clear evidence of the firm’s and the signing lawyer’s credentials — practising certificate / license / bar registration and a brief CV for the signing lawyer. Electronic copies (PDF) are sufficient.

Please provide a proposed detailed scope of work (task breakdown), and an estimated schedule showing key milestones and delivery date (expressly meeting the 1–2 week requirement).
Fee and payment terms

Documents we will (or can) provide to assist you
Please list any corporate, transactional or other documents you will require from us to issue the Legal Opinion (e.g., certificate of incorporation, constitutive documents, share register, minutes, tax filings, audited accounts).
