Commercial disputes support in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is considered one of the world’s leading arbitration centers. Its legal system is based on principles of stability, neutrality, and a high level of protection of the parties’ interests, while its developed infrastructure makes it an ideal venue for resolving international commercial disputes.
Advantages of arbitration in Hong Kong
Confidentiality
All arbitration proceedings are conducted in closed sessions, which protects commercially sensitive information.
Interim measures
Arbitrators are empowered to impose temporary measures to protect the parties’ interests before the final decision is made.
Enforcement of arbitral awards in Hong Kong
If the losing party does not voluntarily comply with the arbitral award, the winning party has the right to initiate enforcement proceedings through the High Court of Hong Kong. This procedure makes arbitral awards in Hong Kong an effective and legally reliable tool for protecting the parties’ interests.
Recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in mainland China
Arbitral awards rendered in Hong Kong can be recognized and enforced in mainland China under the Arrangement on Reciprocal Enforcement of Arbitral Awards concluded in 2019 between mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in other jurisdictions
The New York Convention of 1958 applies in Hong Kong – under the conditions applicable to China as a contracting state. This means that arbitral awards rendered in Hong Kong are recognized and enforceable in more than 170 countries worldwide in accordance with the Convention and the domestic laws of the relevant states.
Third-party funding
In Hong Kong, external funding of arbitration is permitted, which is particularly relevant in complex and resource-intensive disputes.
