Dispute Resolution
As dealflow increases, parties doing business in China face a greater likelihood of encountering disputes with Chinese parties. And as deal values climb, so do the stakes in these disputes.
O’Melveny’s China Dispute Resolution Practice is unquestionably the market leader among U.S. firms in China. In ranking us in the top tier of their China Dispute Resolution category, Chambers and Partners describes our team as “unquestionably proficient,” and “highly skilled in international and China arbitration.” And Global Arbitration Review recently ranked us in their “GAR 30” list of the world’s leading arbitration practices.
Our Disputes team is led by Dr. Michael Moser, a recognized authority in international arbitration whose numerous professional titles include serving as Chair of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Co-Chair of the China Arbitration Forum, Vice President of the Asia Pacific Regional Arbitration Group, and Vice Chair of the IBA Committee on Arbitration. The first foreign national to be appointed as an arbitrator in China, Dr. Moser has acted as arbitrator or counsel in more than 100 cases and, in 2006, was awarded the prestigious “Lifetime Achievement Award” by Chambers Global.
With professionals resident in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, O’Melveny’s Disputes group offers clients a China-wide network of multinational and multilingual lawyers experienced in cross-border litigation, arbitration, and alternative dispute resolution proceedings, as well as trade remedy, regulatory, and investigation work. Our team has experience handling matters before virtually all of the significant arbitration institutions in Asia, including the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (JCAA), and the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (KCAB), as well as various ad hoc arbitrations in major venues throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.
