Our Dispute Resolution Practice Group has for some years been rapidly growing and is now the largest group in the firm. We are honoured that we have received a number of awards in recognition of our remarkable performance in the legal profession. Our clients consist of well-known corporations, banks, individuals and regulatory bodies. Due to our substantial experience with regard to the Nina Wang litigation, we have become very well-known in the probate litigation field and are involved in many cases in this area.
Moreover, we handle a wide spectrum of litigation and arbitration cases including commercial and shareholders’ disputes, defamation, employment, professional negligence, as well as administrative cases. We act for many local and international banks in Hong Kong and are involved in a wide range of banking and finance disputes. We also have extensive experience in dealing with cases involving sizable claims and complex legal issues, including cross-border multi-jurisdictional cases.
