Reciprocal Enforcement Arrangements Between Mainland and HKSAR - Practical Know-how for In-house Counsel

Reciprocal Enforcement Arrangements Between Mainland and HKSAR - Practical Know-how for In-house Counsel Mark Vitek (not verified)
On-Demand

On 29 January 2024, the Mainland Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (Reciprocal Enforcement) Ordinance came into operation. This opened a new chapter in terms of mutual recognition of judgments between Mainland and Hong Kong SAR, and certain conditions need to be met for judgment creditors to seek to enforce Mainland Judgments in Hong Kong, and vice versa.

Join Jennifer Wu (Partner, Pinsent Masons) and Adrian Lai (Barrister, Des Voeux Chambers) for a 1-hour webinar to explore the changes in the reciprocal enforcement arrangements of Court judgments and arbitral awards, what is captured by the new reciprocal enforcement arrangement, what are the considerations for businesses and in-house counsel - particularly when dealing with contractual, operational and enforcement issues. The speakers will welcome questions from the audience at the end of the Webcast.
