Carmen Kan Wai-mun is a Hong Kong lawyer and legislator who serves as general counsel of Bank of China (Hong Kong), overseeing its legal and compliance work. She graduated with first class honours in law from the University of Hong Kong and later took a master's degree in advanced public administration at Tsinghua University's school of public policy and management. Qualified as a solicitor in both Hong Kong and the mainland, she was formerly a partner at the international law firm Clifford Chance, building wide experience in legal and financial work and particular familiarity with corporate governance, compliance and cross-border legal matters; she has been appointed a Justice of the Peace. Elected to the Seventh Legislative Council for the Election Committee constituency in 2021 in her first run for office, she took office in January 2022. In the council she has focused on the rule of law, financial development, corporate governance, education and women's affairs, and has commented on the development of the legal profession, financial technology and regulatory alignment within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. She argues that a sound legal and regulatory framework is a key foundation of Hong Kong's role as an international financial centre and that institutional innovation should go hand in hand with safeguarding the rule of law, and that Hong Kong should use the strengths of the common law to consolidate its position as a legal services hub. In the 2025 Legislative Council election she retained her Election Committee seat and began the Eighth Legislative Council term in 2026. She has also been appointed a member of the council of the Education University of Hong Kong.
