Effectively Allocating Your Small Business Advertising Budget
Primasia Corporate Services


Primasia Corporate Services is your most reliable business partner in Hong Kong and China, specialising in Corporate Services such as Market Entry Solutions, China E-commerce solutions, and Xero Cloud Accounting. We are here to assist with everything from filling out and filing the proper paperwork to the sourcing of a dependable business partner in China.
Marketing budgets vary from business to business, no matter their size. What one business views as an excessive amount spend, could seem completely reasonable or even small to another. So, how does one go about setting their marketing budget?

Work Hard, Play Hard: Hong Kong’s Workaholic Culture


The number of lawyers looking to work through a NewLaw* firm (*alternatively Law Company of Alternative Legal Services Provider) has increased across all the major common law jurisdictions including Hong Kong and Singapore.  The reason? Flexibility. The ability to choose your working hours and clients is a career benefit no one should ignore. Hong Kong is well-known across Asia for its ‘work hard, play hard’ culture, although increasingly for many it seems to lean more towards the “work hard” side. Long hours and a workaholic culture are starting to become the norm in our “hustle and bustle” city, as seen earlier this year when the South China Morning Post reported that Hong Kong had the longest working hours out of 71 cities, with “tens of thousands of people working 75 hours a week”.

Out in Hong Kong Tennis Open 2018


The 2018 Out in Hong Kong Tennis Open was hugely successful and a fun sporting event for the local LGBT+ community! Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 is still some time away, and this friendly tennis competition was just the thing to get us revved up and in the sporting spirit. The second annual Out in Hong Kong Open tournament took place last month with three full days of tennis matches, including a singles competition and a special women’s only doubles division. A BIG heartfelt “Thank You” to all those that contributed in organizing, volunteering, and sponsoring this non-profit event that benefited so many-- more than 70 international and local players, all of our Hong  Kong LGBT+ community and friends, and over 5,000 Out in Hong Kong members.

Players from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels gathered for this fun 3 day event, meeting new tennis players, friends, and helping to support the LGBT+ community.

Hong Kong Awards, Seminars, Workshops and More A Busy and Inspirational Autumn for Cognatio Law



It has been a very busy few months for NewLaw firms in Hong Kong- at least for one of the major forces behind Hong Kong’s NewLaw boom, Cognatio Law CEO & co-founder Lesley Hobbs. Here are a few of the highlights from her very busy 2018 schedule:

(Pictured above)
In mid-October Lesley Hobbs attended #ZegalCon2018, Asia Pacific’s leading LegalTech conference. The seminar entitled "Decoding Blockchain: Challenges and Opportunities from a Legal Perspective", really highlighted how blockchain is transforming the legal industry. You can learn more about ZegalCon 2018 here on our website.


Successful Launch of 2018 Legal 500 GC Powerlist Hong Kong

The entire Cognatio Law team was delighted to attend the inaugural edition of The Legal 500 GC Powerlist Hong Kong Teams 2018. We are thrilled to be a sponsor of the very first HK edition from this prestigious series of legal directories, successfully launched at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on 18th October 2018. You can read more about this event here on our website.


Eighth Annual Asia Women in Business Law Awards

In early November Lesley Hobbs attended the Eighth Annual Asia Women in Business Law Awards and was thrilled to see so many talented women gathered together in one room. Truly inspirational! Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of the eighth annual Asia Women in Business Law Awards. Kudos to Legal Media Group, Euromoney for celebrating and highlighting female legal talent across all corners of the world.


AIG’s "Celebrating Women in the Workplace" Event

Several days later she was inspired once again, this time by a motivating half day conference organised by AIG-- "Celebrating Women in the Workplace" highlighting how and why diversity is so important in the workplace. The event also supported a very worthy cause, with all profits going towards The Women's Foundation HK 婦女基金會 Financial Literacy Program! #CelebrateWomenAIGHKEX


15th Annual AmCham Women of Influence Awards

Another event that our CEO Lesley Hobbs was proud to attend was the AmCham 15th Women of Influence Conference and Awards 2018. A big shout out and congratulations to all this year’s nominees and winners. Let's all be influencers! #AmChamHKWOI
On 21st November Lesley Hobbs attended #BritChamHK sponsored seminar “The future of the professions as the machine era begins”. A very forward-thinking and thought-provoking seminar lead by David Moschella, Research Director of Leading Edge Forum. We recommend making time to read his book, Seeing Digital: A Visual Guide to the Industries, Organizations, and Careers of the 2020s. A must-read for today's business leaders!


#SheMeansBusiness Instagram workshop hosted by The Women's Foundation HK

Ending November on yet another inspired note, Lesley Hobbs attended the #SheMeansBusiness Instagram workshop sponsored by The Women's Foundation HK. Lesley is a truly inspirational leader, always looking for ways to improve her business skills and paying it forward.  A big thanks goes out to Facebook for supporting female entrepreneurs and to The Women's Foundation HK for its commitment to improving the lives of so many women and girls in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is well known for being a place for hard-working individuals to succeed, and the team behind Cognatio Law success is no exception! We are looking forward to seeing what 2019 will bring us.
