HONG KONG · CIVIL & COMMERCIAL
When a disagreement
becomes a dispute.
Enquiries concerning civil claims, company and commercial disputes, and proceedings with an international dimension.
Look beyond the allegation.
Understand the evidence.
Civil disputes call for careful attention to the documents, the legal relationship between the parties and the practical objective. A contractual claim, a shareholder disagreement and an application within existing litigation can require very different approaches.
David’s experience includes Hong Kong interlocutory hearings, discovery and commercial case preparation, alongside international contractual disputes. Enquiries from individuals, businesses and solicitors are welcome.
- Contract claims, payment disputes and commercial obligations
- Company and shareholder disagreements
- Directors’ duties and alleged breaches of fiduciary duty
- Discovery, documentary evidence and interlocutory applications
- Cross-border disputes involving Hong Kong and overseas parties
A useful first enquiry.
Briefly identify the parties, the nature of the dispute, any case number and the next deadline. Explain what you want to achieve and whether a solicitor is already instructed. An initial enquiry should be concise; document requests and engagement terms follow only after suitability is confirmed.
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
A clearer
starting point.
Does this include matters already before the court?
