Mediation in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has positioned itself as one of Asia's leading centres for dispute resolution, actively promoting mediation as a means of resolving commercial and civil disputes efficiently and cost-effectively. Mediation offers parties a confidential, consensual process in which a neutral mediator helps them reach their own settlement, preserving commercial relationships and avoiding the expense and uncertainty of contested litigation or arbitration. The Hong Kong courts encourage parties to attempt mediation, and a body of practice and accreditation has grown up around it.

In this environment, experienced mediators and mediation advocates play an important role. Success in mediation depends not only on legal knowledge but on skills in facilitation, negotiation and the management of parties' expectations. Practitioners who combine formal legal training with dedicated mediation and mediation advocacy credentials, as Bing Woon Chan does, are well placed to help clients make effective use of the process, whether appearing as advocates for a party or serving as neutral mediators themselves.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards are determined through the publication's research into leading firms and advisers within each jurisdiction and practice area. Being named Mediation Law Firm of the Year in Hong Kong recognises Yung, Yu, Yuen & Co. for its strength in mediation and dispute resolution. For businesses and individuals seeking to resolve disputes through mediation in Hong Kong's active dispute resolution market, the award points toward a firm whose consultant, Bing Woon Chan, brings extensive mediation and advocacy experience to the table.

Making effective use of mediation

As Hong Kong continues to promote mediation as a mainstream means of resolving disputes, the difference between a process that succeeds and one that stalls often comes down to the skill and experience of those involved. A capable mediator creates the conditions for settlement by building trust, reframing entrenched positions and helping parties see the real cost and risk of continued conflict, while a skilled mediation advocate ensures a party's interests are advanced effectively within that setting. Bing Woon Chan's dual experience as both mediator and advocate, reinforced by advanced training in the field, allows clients of Yung, Yu, Yuen & Co. to approach mediation with confidence. For commercial parties keen to preserve relationships and avoid protracted litigation, that experience is a genuine asset.
