Junius Kwan-yiu Ho (Chinese: 何君堯; born 4 June 1962) is a Hong Kong lawyer and politician. He was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 2016.
Ho came from a family of village leaders. He grew up in the old site of Leung Tin Tsuen village ( Chinese traditional: 良田村）in Tuen Mun. He is a 32nd-generation descent of his Hakka clan which can be traced back to the 10th century.
Ho attended Queen's College Hong Kong from 1975 to 1979, after which he went to the United Kingdom, where he enrolled at Anglia Ruskin University (formerly known as Chelmer Institute of Higher Education) and obtained his Bachelor of Law's degree in 1984. Ho joined a post-graduate programme at the University of Hong Kong in 1984 and obtained his Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) in 1986. He was bestowed an honorary Doctorate of Laws by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011.
After gaining his qualifications he was admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 1988 and was similarly admitted in other jurisdictions in Singapore and England and Wales in 1995 and 1997. He is the senior partner of a law firm in Hong Kong and a principal representative of a law firm in Guangzhou. His major practice field is civil litigation, specialising in shareholders' disputes and family disputes. He was appointed a China-Appointed Attesting Officer in 2003.
He became the Vice-President (June 2005 – May 2011) and Council Member of the Law Society of Hong Kong (May 2012 – present) and was elected as the President of the Law Society of Hong Kong (May 2011 – May 2012). Ho was appointed an independent director of Hong Kong Football Association Limited.
Hi was elected as Chairman of Tuen Mun Rural Committee in 2011. He was a candidate in the Legislative Council Election in New Territories West in September 2012 and is a spokesman for the New Territories Concern Group. In October 2015, Ho was one of three prominent pro-Beijing figures appointed to Lingnan University council by Hong Kong chief executive Leung Chun-ying. Students staged a protest against their appointment over fears of political interference of university governance. In the 2015 Hong Kong district council elections, Junius Ho defeated Albert Ho of the Democratic Party.
He is married with 3 children, and he used to live in Tuen Mun.
