About

Provided by Dentons Hong Kong LLP

Dentons’ world renounced international arbitration team work seamlessly across offices and regions to assist clients from the onset of a dispute, through to enforcement of an arbitral award. We are familiar with the major institutional and procedural rules and we know the arbitrators who decide cases. 

As a global law firm with a significant presence in Mainland China, we find ourselves a go-to firm for both Mainland Chinese parties to Hong Kong arbitration (including State Owned Enterprises) and international clients (typically from the US and Europe).

Our team has also regularly represented clients in arbitrations administered by regional and international arbitration institutions, such as Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), Singapore International Arbitration (SIAC), and Shanghai International Arbitration Center (SHIAC). 

We have extensive experience in handling jurisdictional challenges against arbitration proceedings, applying for interim relief (such as asset preservation orders in China) in aid of arbitral proceedings, and representing claimants in enforcing Hong Kong and foreign arbitral awards. We have also been engaged by leading international corporations to conduct a comprehensive review of their arbitration agreements with their contractual counterparties across various jurisdictions.
