Description

In today’s fast-paced business environment, enterprises in Hong Kong—particularly small and medium-sized ones—face growing pressures to resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively. This seminar will explore the advantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), with a specific focus on mediation and arbitration. Participants will gain insights into the fundamental differences between these two methods, their respective processes, and the benefits they offer, including cost savings, time efficiency, flexibility, and confidentiality.

Expert speakers will discuss how mediation promotes a collaborative approach to dispute resolution, enabling parties to maintain relationships while reaching mutually beneficial agreements. In contrast, arbitration provides a formal mechanism for resolving disputes with binding outcomes, ensuring enforceability across borders.

Join us to discover how leveraging mediation and arbitration can enhance your business strategy, mitigate risks, and preserve valuable relationships in an increasingly complex legal landscape.
