HKMC is jointly organizing a One-Day Mediation Conference “Mediate First, Mediate in Hong Kong” with Joint Mediation Helpline Office and Shanghai Commercial Mediation Centre on 27 November, 2014 from 9:00-17:15 at the Owners Box 3/F Member Stand I Happy Valley Racecourse. Speakers from different sectors in Hong Kong including legal, construction and commercial, and experts from Shanghai & Qianhai, China will share their views on the beauty and the beast of mediation in Hong Kong as a means to resolve business disputes between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
In collaboration with the Taiwan Bar Association, HKIAC will present a half-day workshop to walk you through some of the most common issues in relation to arbitration in East Asia. We will be joined by a team of international and local dispute resolution experts who will tool you up with the necessary skills and techniques to manage arbitrations, emergency arbitrator procedures, and enforcement proceedings in East Asia.
What are the differences between civil and common law? How do they impact arbitration proceedings? Why is Hong Kong a predestined seat for parties from civil law and common law backgrounds alike?
This CPD talk will be a heartfelt sharing of Ms Chih's experience in negotiation/mediation. It is suitable for all legal practitioners, mediators, businessmen, executives/administrators who have to engage in business or legal negotiation/mediation to attend.
In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in how parties and counsel conduct themselves in international arbitration. Powerful voices have warned that if the arbitration community does not effectively regulate itself then regulation will be imposed. Responses to this challenge have included explicit provisions in the LCIA Arbitration Rules, guidelines promulgated by the International Bar Association, proposals for a global ethics tribunal, admonitions to behave more responsibly—and vocal opposition to doing anything at all.
