OLQE FAQs.
What is the OLQE?
The Overseas Lawyers Qualification Examination is the examination that qualified lawyers from other jurisdictions take to be admitted as solicitors in Hong Kong. It is administered by the Law Society of Hong Kong, which publishes the current syllabus, eligibility rules and exemptions.
Which OLQE heads do you tutor?
We tutor all heads of the examination: conveyancing; civil and criminal procedure; commercial and company law; accounts and professional conduct; and the principles of common law, which candidates from non-common law jurisdictions usually need to take.
Can you fit preparation around a full-time job?
Yes. Most OLQE candidates work full time. We schedule evening and weekend sessions online or in person and build a revision plan around your working hours and the examination date.
