Background
|
|
With China’s development of “One Belt, One Road”, cross-border investment and business growth will inevitably surge. This leads to an increase in commercial disputes, hence enterprises’ demand for cross-border mediation services also grows. On the other hand, the Supreme People’s Court is also actively promoting the reform of diversified dispute resolution mechanism. Having been highly recommended by the Chinese Government, the tendency of adopting the diversified dispute resolution mechanism is expected in China. Our Center has established cross-border dispute resolution services, combining the strengths of both Hong Kong mediation and international arbitration, so that the award can be applied and executed in more than 150 regions all over the world. The parties need not file the same litigation repeatedly in different judicial jurisdictions. Mediation does not only save time and money, but it also helps enterprises maintain their reputations and cooperative relationships. Therefore, mediation is advantageous in terms of autonomy, confidentiality, compatibility and flexibility, etc.
