健全的法律制度，一向是本港繁榮發展的基石，各種商務活動往往牽涉到不同的法律條例，行政人員作為企業的大腦，有需要裝備法律知識，掌握法例對企業運作的規管及保障，協助企業長遠發展。由SPEED舉辦的「專業有道」講座系列，第2場講座便以「提昇行政人員競爭力．掌握專業法律知識」為主題，於2009年3月14日假香港理工大學蔣震劇院舉行，為有意進修的行政人員，帶來不少啟發。
是次講座邀請了現任立法會議員湯家驊先生、前政府總部首長級公務員袁海星博士，以及香港律師會對外事務常務委員會委員伍兆榮律師為演講嘉賓。3位嘉賓從不同角度，分享學習法律時的經驗和心得，以及法律知識如何協助行政人員提升工作效率。
講座中，湯家驊議員為觀眾講解法律的基本原則，並提醒觀眾學習法律並不靠「死記硬背」，而是要明白法律的精神，融會貫通地掌握當中的含意。湯議員指出，法律不是不可思議的，而是社會經過長時間的累積，慢慢形成對人的標準及規則，所以是一種活的學問。

而袁海星博士分享了他自學法律學士課程時的苦與樂，以及學習法律對其事業的增值作用。袁博士指學習法律時要看許多案例，需要付出大量精神和時間，而且他投考倫敦大學的榮譽法律學士課程，其考試制度有相當大的挑戰性。但是，法律知識能走入生活，又能提升分析力，當中的樂趣比辛苦更大。此外，袁博士認為擁有法律知識的行政人員，在職場上有顯著的優勢，有助應付企業中的行政運作。
伍兆榮律師則通過模擬案例，以輕鬆幽默的手法，解析商業、公司及知識產權等法律如何與行政人員息息相關。伍律師指出，不論是與人合作開設公司，抑或是作為僱員，都牽涉到許多法律概念，如限制性的約言(Restrictive Covenant) 的覆蓋會否太長或太闊、知識產權的保障範圍等。行政人員須多加注意，免招無謂損失。
其後大會設有發問時間，讓觀眾向3位嘉賓請教。面對熱烈的發問，嘉賓亦毫不吝嗇地一一解答。

Organised by SPEED, the second seminar of the Professional Talk Series, entitled "Be Competitive - Master the Knowledge of Laws" was successfully held on 14 March 2009 at the Chiang Chen Studio Theatre of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Mr. Ronny Tong, Member of the Legislative Council, Dr. Horace Yuen, Former Directorate Civil Servant and Mr. Ludwig Ng, Committee Member of External Affairs Committee of the Law Society of Hong Kong were invited as the guest speakers to share their experience in law studies and how legal knowledge empowers executives to work more efficiently.
Mr. Tong explained the basic principles of laws and revealed that the key to law studies is to comprehend the spirit of laws and its implications instead of learning by the letter of the law.

伍兆榮律師 Mr. Ludwig Ng |
|
Dr. Yuen shared his self-study experience in obtaining his Bachelor of Laws degree offered by the University of London, and how his legal knowledge facilitates his career. While legal knowledge can enhance one's analytical skills, Dr. Yuen believed that executives who master legal knowledge are more competitive.
As a lawyer, Mr. Ng illustrated the close relation between laws and executives' work by presenting some simulated examples in an interesting way. He pointed out that legal concepts are often involved in business operation and employment, for instance, the coverage of restrictive covenants and the scope of intellectual property protection and others.
Following the sharings by the three speakers, the audience actively participated in a question-and-answer session.
