Frequently asked questions

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that seeks to resolve disputes outside the courts as agreed by the parties. An unbiased third person or third parties, the arbitrators, decide the dispute and render the arbitration award. The award is final, legally binding and enforceable.

Gall’s team of arbitration lawyers fully understand the arbitral process, and are experienced at using it to effectively maximise the benefit of our clients.

Our arbitration lawyers observe that arbitration is often used for the resolution of commercial disputes. It is particularly effective in international transactions.

In principle, arbitrations should be faster (hence, more costs-efficient) and more flexible in terms of rules and procedures. Unlike litigation, arbitration can be entirely disposed on the papers.

With a long track record of helping clients resolve their disputes, our team of arbitration lawyers have the resources and expertise to represent parties in all aspects of arbitration.

There is no appeal against an arbitral award, but you may seek legal advice as to the enforceability of an arbitral award and the prospect of setting aside an arbitral award based on local laws.

Our arbitration lawyers have substantial experience in enforcing and setting aside arbitral awards.

Individuals may choose Hong Kong as an arbitration seat for their dispute so they can rely on a world class framework, independent and neutral forum, and an arbitration friendly judiciary.

As an international financial centre, Hong Kong harbours the most sophisticated commercial disputes in the world, and hence nurtures and attracts the best arbitration lawyers.

It is also the first and only jurisdiction which the Mainland Chinese Courts would grant ancillary interim measures in aid of the arbitrations seated there.
