Document background
The New Client Intake Form is a crucial document used at the initiation of any new client relationship in Hong Kong. It serves as the primary tool for gathering essential information about prospective clients, whether individuals or corporations, and ensures compliance with Hong Kong's regulatory requirements, particularly the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and Anti-Money Laundering regulations where applicable. This document typically includes sections for client identification, service requirements, authorized representatives, and necessary consents. It forms the foundation for client due diligence, risk assessment, and the establishment of professional relationships while maintaining compliance with local legal and regulatory frameworks.
