Colin Cohen, Senior Partner since 2004, has vast experience in the highest levels of Hong Kong’s legal system, leading teams in complex corporate crime cases, high-conflict civil litigation, dispute resolution, landmark judicial reviews and Court of Final Appeal hearings. In the course of his career, he has co-ordinated defence teams on some of the territory’s most high-profile court cases. He was awarded the Hong Kong Medal of Honour in 2012. Colin is a past President of Ally Law and currently chairs the Expansion Committee.

BC&C places great emphasis on giving lawyers a clear career path and embraces the values of equality, inclusivity and diversity. Half of BC&C’s Partners began their legal career with the firm as a Trainee or Paralegal; as well, half the Partners and a large majority of the Senior Associates, Associates and Trainees are female, a situation which sharpens BC&C’s focus on women’s rights and the ongoing fight against discrimination.

BC&C’s pro bono work, community outreach and charitable efforts have been recognised on multiple occasions by the Hong Kong government and the Law Society of Hong Kong. The firm has funded grassroots initiatives in football, cricket, sailing and athletics through sponsorship activities and participation programmes. As well, it supports legal education through strong associations with Hong Kong’s law schools and its signature Criminal Law Lecture, an annual event which draws a broad range of attendees from the territory’s legal profession.
