ADR in Asia - Client Perspectives on Mediation in Hong Kong

On 7 May, we published our second article from our ADR in Asia Guide.  This provided a practical guide to mediation explaining what mediation is, why it works, and how and when best to use it. It also contained practical advice on mediator selection, mediation preparation, what to expect from the mediation day, and the client’s role in it.

Here, you can access the third article from our Guide – Client Perspectives on Mediation in Hong Kong. We have sought the views of numerous clients from a broad range of sectors including banking, insurance, manufacturing, investment funds, accountancy, leisure, and energy on their use of mediation and other ADR processes in Hong Kong over the past five years. In particular, they shed light on the impact of Practice Direction 31 in Hong Kong.  This article provides a valuable and rare insight into how multinationals are using ADR in Hong Kong and across Asia. Please contact the authors, or your regular Herbert Smith Freehills contact, if you have questions or would like more information.
