Welcome to Register for the Preparatory Workshop for OLQE 2025 (Head IV - Accounts and Professional Conduct)

This workshop provides an in-depth exploration of the professional conduct rules governing solicitors in Hong Kong, with a core emphasis on the Solicitors’ Guide to Professional Conduct and practical application of the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules.  It is structured to align with Head IV of the OLQE examination framework — which requires candidates to pass both Accounting and Professional Responsibility components in a single sitting.

The workshop equips participants to identify, analyze, and resolve ethical dilemmas commonly encountered in legal practice. Attendees will develop critical skills to advise on compliance obligations, navigate conflicts of interest, and make informed decisions aligned with the regulatory standards applicable to solicitors and law firms in Hong Kong.

The Accounting segment focuses on financial compliance, client money management, and audit requirements under the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules, while the Professional Responsibility segment addresses broader ethical challenges, including confidentiality, retainer, integrity in advocacy, and interactions with the Bar (referencing relevant provisions of the Bar Code where appropriate).

By integrating doctrinal knowledge with pragmatic problem-solving, this workshop not only assists OLQE candidates to tackle a particularly difficult Head, but also prepare future Hong Kong solicitors to uphold professional accountability, mitigate disciplinary risks, and maintain trust in the adherence to Hong Kong’s rigorous legal and ethical framework.

The workshop comprises a total of 27 instructional hours, delivered through nine sessions of three hours each. These sessions will be conducted on an intensive basis during September and October. The first six sessions will be structured as knowledge seminars. The final three sessions will consist of mock examinations and detailed review sessions, designed to consolidate understanding and enhance exam readiness.
