THE ‘GO TO’ RESOURCE ON THE SPECIALIST ISSUES OF COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Commercial litigation is one of the busiest areas of practice in Hong Kong with the commercial court developing its own unique nuances. Commercial Litigation in Hong Kong: A Practical Guide provides an in-depth, comprehensive and practical look at the practice of commercial litigation, with a particular emphasis on pre-emptive remedies, eg. securing the money even before you’ve commenced proceedings.

The book aims to provide practical guidance upon ensuring success when resolving commercial disputes. The objective recognises that success in commercial matters not only requires a knowledge of black letter commercial law (as well as all its intricacies), but a mastery of all those facets which make up commercial law practice. This book is relevant not only for the practitioner in the Commercial Court but to anyone involved in commercial litigation. It will also be a useful addition to the judge’s library.

Commercial Litigation in Hong Kong: A Practical Guide is the comprehensive, “go to” resource on the specialist issues of the Commercial Litigation and should be part of the collection of titles for anyone engaged in commercial disputes. It may provide that vital piece of advice which can make or break a commercial dispute.
