M&A disputes can be unique in their hostility and complexity. We are delighted to share with you that King & Wood Mallesons has contributed both Mainland China and Hong Kong chapters for the third edition of Global Arbitration Review (GAR): The Guide to M&A Arbitration. 

This practical guide highlights what merger parties should think about when it comes to disputes, how to prevent these disputes and how best to resolve them. The guide is structured in two sections. Part I focuses on planning and procedural issues, covering everything from drafting clauses to how to structure contracts to minimise the potential for disputes. Part II offers a geographical survey of important differences in national laws that may affect the outcome of a dispute.

Insight
Hong Kong is strategically positioned to influence the shift to sustainable finance and drive investment in green technology and infrastructure. One of the chief advantages Hong Kong holds is its potential to act as a super-connector between Mainland China and the global market. Plans made in late 2024 are set to further grow its green debt market and make it a ‘go-to’ for sustainable financing (find more on the Sustainable Finance Action Agenda below).
