Under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) of Hong Kong, incorporated companies do not maintain a single 'legal representative' position; the Board of Directors (Section 643) exercises statutory management authority. Under the New Inspection Regime, public inspection displays directors' correspondence addresses and partially masked identification numbers. Complete current and historical directorships (Form ND2A), registered member shareholdings (Form NAR1 / Section 627), and Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO / SCR under Part 12 Division 2A) are verified through official statutory filing retrieval.

Pursuant to the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), statutory filings delivered by LINGNAN UNIVERSITY—such as Incorporation Forms (Form NNC1), Annual Returns (Form NAR1 under Section 662), and notices of director or registered office changes (Form ND2A / Form NR1)—are maintained by the Hong Kong Companies Registry. Where online electronic image indexing is pending synchronization or involves early historical microfiche archives, manual statutory retrieval from the Companies Registry can be commissioned through our compliance team.

Judicial Screening (Litigation & Winding-Up): cross-referenced with the Hong Kong Judiciary public writs database and Official Receiver's Office (ORO) registers; no public civil action writs (HCA/DCCJ) or compulsory winding-up petitions (HCCW under Cap. 32) were found on current index records.

Under Section 127 of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), Hong Kong has abolished the mandatory use of a metallic common seal; LINGNAN UNIVERSITY (CRN: SO9000098) may lawfully execute a commercial contract without a common seal by having the document signed on its behalf by its sole director (for a single-director company) or by two directors / one director and the company secretary, and under Cap. 622B Section 4 must state its registered legal name on all contracts, transaction instruments, and official websites. Because commercial rubber chops are not registered with the Hong Kong Government, counterparties must retrieve the latest Annual Return (Form NAR1), director change notices (Form ND2A), and Register of Charges filings (Form NM1 under Cap. 622 s.334) from the Companies Registry to verify authorized signatory directors and asset pledges.
