Jose-Antonio Maurellet is set to serve for another term as chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, with the current vice-chairpersons also to return.
Senior Counsel Maurellet on Friday confirmed a circular stating that he had been nominated as chairman for the 2026-27 term.
Martin Hui Siu-ting and Eva Sit Yat-wah, both senior counsel, would continue to serve as vice-chairpersons for the coming term, he added.
But the association is set for a shift in administrative roles after Martin Wong Wing-hoi, the current deputy honorary secretary, was nominated to serve as honorary secretary and treasurer.
Alexander Tang Kin-man was nominated to take up the role of deputy honorary secretary.
Under the association’s constitution, the organisation typically holds an annual general meeting and leadership elections on the third Thursday of January.
