Our Dispute Resolution Special Report includes contributions from Eversheds and the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC.) In 'The Litigation Paradox: Why most roads lead to court,' Eversheds reveals that general counsel are most likely to see cases go all the way to court rather than being resolved by alternative dispute resolution and in 'The suitability of HKIAC arbitration for derivative disputes,' the HKIAC analyses typical disputes arising out of derivative contracts and the advantages of referring these to arbitration.
