Head of Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department Ms. Heidi Chui has been admitted to the newly formed Panel of Arbitrators of the Law Society of Hong Kong.
The panel serves as the sole database for promotion of solicitor-arbitrators’ services in Hong Kong and overseas jurisdictions and is comprised of exclusively of experienced solicitors who have demonstrated knowledge and skills in arbitration and who meet the stringent requirements of an admissions sub-committee.
Solicitors must fulfil stringent requirements to join the Law Society’s new Panel of Arbitrators.
“This is an exciting time for arbitration in Hong Kong and Asia, with all the activities in the traditional seats, but with increased number of other seats starting to enter the profile internationally and engage in the international arbitration forum,” said Ms Chui.
“The availability of third party funding for arbitration cases in Hong Kong would increase the parties’ options for bringing the case to arbitration. We will see an increased number of meritorious claims being brought. It will enhance the legal activity in Hong Kong and strengthen Hong Kong’s position as an international arbitration centre.”
Ms Heidi Chui is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (U.K.) and an Accredited General Mediator with both the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre and the Law Society of Hong Kong. She is also a member of the Arbitration Committee of The Law Society of Hong Kong.
She is a frequent speaker at arbitration events, including but not limited to Cross Strait Four Regions Young Lawyers Forum and the Belt and Road Summit organised by the Law Society of Hong Kong, seminars at Shanghai Arbitration Commission and Ningbo Arbitration Commission.
