本人身為香港中律協創會會長、香港律政司法律科技發展諮詢小組成員，同時作為長期推動業界發展法律科技的立法會議員，衷心感謝政府接納本人建議，推出法律科技服務訂購資助計劃。
早於 2020 年，本人爭取設立法律科技基金，協助超過七成執業人士提升資訊系統。由 2022 年起，本人持續爭取推出後繼方案 ——法律科技基金 2.0。今次計劃，是對法律業界實際困難的積極回應。
香港約九成律師行屬中小型事務所，大約三分一大律師屬執業年資較淺者。這批法律人才具備紮實專業能力，但不少人受資源有限、成本高昂所限，難以擴展服務範疇及提升執業效率。
這項計劃的意義，遠不止於資助。它為中小型律師行及執業年資較淺大律師賦能。他們憑藉深厚的普通法根基，現在可以借助科技拓闊服務領域、提升專業能力及工作效率，讓新一代法律執業者減輕負擔，迎接人工智能時代，緊貼國際發展步伐。本計劃亦鼓勵市場多研發推動法律科技產品，令整個法律界更快升級轉型。
本人在《2026 年施政報告》及香港首個五年計劃的意見書中，亦提出兩項具前瞻性建議：由政府牽頭研發專為普通法而設的人工智能大模型，以及建立一站式法律科技資訊及支援平台，令支援由針對性資助，邁向全行業系統化數碼賦能，整體降低執業成本、提升服務水平。
本人會繼續聆聽業界聲音，爭取更多有利業界的政策，支持法律界數碼轉型，深化香港作為國際法律及爭議解決服務中心的地位。

Full Support for DOJ Funding Scheme for Lawtech Solution Subscription
Addressing Sector Needs to Empower Digital Upgrading and Transformation of SMEs Law Firms and Junior Barristers
As the Founding President of The Small and Medium Law Firms Association of Hong Kong, a Member of the Consultation Group on Law Tech Development of DOJ HK, and a Legislative Councillor who has long advocated for law tech development for the sector, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the Government for accepting my proposal and launching the Law Tech Service Subscription Subsidy Scheme.
Back in 2020, I secured the Law Tech Fund, which helped more than 70 per cent of practitioners upgrade their IT systems. Since 2022, I have kept pushing for a successor initiative, the Law Tech Fund 2.0. Today's scheme marks a meaningful response to the genuine difficulties faced by the legal fraternity.
Around 90 per cent of law firms in Hong Kong are small and medium-sized practices, and roughly one-third of practising barristers are junior practitioners. These legal professionals possess solid professional expertise, yet many have been constrained by limited resources and high costs, making it hard for them to expand the scope of their services and boost operational efficiency.
The value of this scheme goes far beyond financial support. It empowers small and medium law firms and junior barristers. Building on their strong common-law foundation, they can now leverage technology to broaden their service scope, enhance their professional capability and improve efficiency. It lets the next generation of legal practitioners move forward with fewer burdens, embracing the AI era and keeping pace with international developments. This Scheme also encourages the market to develop and launch more legal tech offerings, thereby expediting the digital upgrading and transformation of the legal fraternity at large.
I have also put forward two forward-looking proposals in my submissions for the 2026 Policy Address and Hong Kong's inaugural Five-Year Plan: for the Government to take the lead in developing a common-law-specific AI large language model, and to set up a one-stop platform providing law tech information and support. This will take us from targeted subsidy support to systematic, sector-wide digital empowerment, lowering practice costs and lifting service standards across the board.
I will continue to listen to all legal practitioners, champion further pro-sector policies, support the digital transformation of our legal community, and strengthen Hong Kong's position as an international hub for legal and dispute resolution services.
resolution services.
