The landscape of commercial disputes in China is rapidly evolving, with the following key characteristics: disputes are becoming increasingly complex, the degree of foreign involvement is deepening, intellectual property and data privacy disputes are becoming hotspots, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are gaining favor.
As China's economy continues to grow rapidly and international trade becomes increasingly close, the number of commercial disputes involving Chinese entities is increasing, and the types of disputes are becoming more complex and diverse. These disputes often span multiple jurisdictions and require resolution under different legal systems, which places higher professional and compliance requirements on the parties involved.
In recent years, as China's technological innovation continues to gather momentum, intellectual property protection has received increasing attention, and the number of related disputes has grown significantly. In addition, the promulgation and implementation of China's Personal Information Protection Law has put forward higher requirements for data privacy protection and has also led to more data governance disputes in cross-border commercial activities.
In response to the complexity of commercial disputes, ADR methods such as arbitration and mediation are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantages of efficiency, confidentiality, and cost-effectiveness. Compared with traditional litigation, ADR methods can resolve disputes more quickly and flexibly, reduce litigation costs, and protect business secrets.
These changes present both new challenges and new opportunities for commercial legal services in China. Legal service providers need to continuously improve their professional capabilities, expand their service areas, and innovate their service models in order to provide clients with high-quality and efficient commercial dispute resolution services.
To gain a deeper understanding of these evolving trends and their impact on business disputes, the 2025 ALB Guide to Commercial Dispute Resolution will be your guide to resolving disputes in a challenging business environment, helping you:
- Understand the changing legal landscape and its potential impact on your business.
- Master alternative methods of resolving commercial disputes, such as arbitration and mediation, and understand their advantages and limitations.
- Obtain expert advice from leading industry legal professionals.
ALB now sincerely invites more contributors and supporting organizations to join hands on the publication of the handbook.
The handbook will reach over 50,000 legal professionals in the Asia Pacific. Free copies of the handbooks/legal guides will be distributed to in-house counsels, chartered secretaries in Hong Kong, China and Singapore, business associations and chambers, international associations of CFOs and Corporate Treasurers and more!
