Litigating in Hong Kong 101: What You Need to Know Before Commencing a Lawsuit
Speakers:
Kenix Yuen, Partner, Gall Solicitors
Nick Dealy, Partner, Gall Solicitors
When a dispute arises between two or more parties, they can commence litigation. But how do you initiate proceedings? What should you consider before filing a claim? And how can you prepare if your case goes to trial?
Litigation can be time consuming and expensive, so anyone intending to explore it as a means for settling a dispute should be well-equipped and have a solid understanding of the various steps.
In this webinar, we will explore the various relevant considerations before commencing litigation in Hong Kong, how to commence litigation, as well as other aspects of the litigation process and the various types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) available (including their pros and cons), such as arbitration and mediation.
Details on how to join will be sent via email by 5pm the day before the webinar.
