Our Senior Partner Steve Wong and Partner Karen Chow are members of the Institute of Arbitrators.
How We Can Help
- Advise on arbitration and mediation as alternative means for resolving disputes
- Drafting and reviewing arbitration agreement
- Advise on legal rules, procedures and substantive laws on both domestic and international arbitrations for resolving commercial disputes, including disputes in relation to engineering, building and construction contracts, insurance contracts, goods sold and delivered, services rendered and manufacturing contracts
- Handle and conduct arbitration proceedings, selection of appropriate arbitrator, preparation of documents, advise on expert evidence, conduct hearing and advise on enforceability and enforcement of arbitration awards
- Acting as mediator in resolving disputes between parties
- Represent and assist parties in the preparation of and in the course of mediation so as to achieve settlement of their disputes through mediation. Through thorough preparation work done prior to mediation, we have in December 2010 successfully achieved a settlement for our client through mediation in a land compulsory sale claims in Lands Tribunal case LDCS 3000/2009. This is the first Lands Tribunal case on land compulsory sale settled through mediation between the parties and has led to the issue, on 28th January 2011 by the Lands Tribunal of a new Practice Direction (LTPD: CS no. 1/2011) on mediation for all compulsory sales cases under the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance (Cap. 545) which came into effect on 15th February 2011.
