Haldanes has a highly experienced team of civil litigation lawyers with a particular focus on commercial litigation.
Our team of civil litigation lawyers conduct cases at all levels of the Hong Kong Court system from first instance through to the Court of Final Appeal as well as arbitration proceedings and mediation. Our civil litigation lawyers have particular experience as dispute resolution advisors, as well as vast knowledge in the conduct of complex commercial disputes and multi-jurisdictional litigation.
We work closely with our clients to achieve practical and cost-effective results. Our civil litigation lawyers recognize that lengthy and expensive litigation is seldom the best answer and, whenever possible, we aim to help clients resolve disputes with minimum cost and disruption. If legal proceedings cannot be avoided, however, Haldanes’ civil litigation lawyers have the experience and expertise to ensure that our clients are effectively represented in litigation proceedings.
