Welcome to Robinsons

Robinsons (AU) Pty Ltd is a Sydney-based boutique law firm registered with The Law Society of New South Wales, operating as part of the Robinsons, Lawyers — an international network spanning Hong Kong, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Vietnam and the United States.

We were established to serve the growing legal needs of individuals, businesses and investors operating across the Asia-Pacific, with a particular focus on the corridors connecting Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.

Our founding partners and consultants bring decades of in-house and private practice experience from some of the region’s most respected institutions. We advise in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, and are uniquely positioned to bridge the legal, cultural and commercial complexities of cross-border transactions.

OUR STORY

Robinsons, Lawyers traces its origins to Hong Kong, where Robinsons, Lawyers was founded in 2013. Over the following decade, the firm built a distinguished reputation in corporate law, securities, cross-border investment and dispute resolution — earning recognition from ALB Asia and developing a network spanning more than ten jurisdictions worldwide.

In 2023, Mr Alun Pang joined Robinsons, Lawyers in Hong Kong as a consultant, bringing deep expertise in Australian and New Zealand law, and a rich portfolio of cross-border transactional experience built through major in-house and private practice roles across Asia and the Pacific.

In 2025, Robinsons, Lawyers formalised its Pacific presence with the establishment of Robinsons (AU) Pty Ltd and Robinsons (NZ) Ltd — both registered with their respective law societies and led by principals admitted to practice in multiple jurisdictions.
