Criticism & Controversy[edit]
HLG acted on behalf of three ex-employees of Chinese tech giant Huawei, who were accused of espionage by Canadian authorities during their immigration applications. Jean-Francois Harvey, whose Harvey Law Group acted on behalf of the mainland Chinese trio, said the now-withdrawn accusations appeared to have been the work of a single officer in the Canadian consulate-general’s office in Hong Kong. Harvey said an identification code on correspondence proved that the same case officer dealt with all three clients, who have settled in Canada in the past four months. They were “definitely not” spies, said the lawyer.[16]
