Hong Kong has long established itself as a leading center for international arbitration, and its prominence has only increased over the past year. The chapter highlights several key developments, including the notable achievements of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and the impactful Guy Lam decision, which has transformed the landscape of winding-up cases and exclusive jurisdiction clauses, underscoring the critical importance of upholding contractual agreements.

In addition, the HKIAC introduced new Administered Arbitration Rules in June 2024, designed to enhance efficiency, integrity, and diversity in arbitration proceedings, reflecting a modern approach to dispute resolution. The successful hosting of the ICCA Congress in May 2024 further solidified Hong Kong’s reputation as a premier arbitration hub, attracting over 1,000 professionals from around the globe.
