Details

Emden’s Construction Law Hong Kong has been much anticipated by the Hong Kong construction law community, and contributed to by some of its most prominent members. Based on the original English work by Crown Office Chambers the Hong Kong version contains 27 chapters of detailed guidance, and is unparalleled in its local insight. For the first time it brings together UK and Hong Kong references, offering a truly complete resource which is tailored to local needs.

Contents cover the many changes and local specificities that have occurred in the 20 years post-handover. These changes include a huge growth in local case law, the introduction of the NEC, a move towards different standard contract terms, and a boom in ambitious construction projects across the region. Whilst traditionally construction lawyers might have relied on imported UK publications there is now sufficient divergence in law and practice to make a local version a necessity. Thus, LexisNexis are delighted to bring to market this most necessary of Hong Kong works.

Emden’s Construction Law Hong Kong will be invaluable to all solicitors, barristers, architects, surveyors and other professionals concerned with construction law. It is comprised of two volumes, and is updated three times per year.

Updates: The content is updated 3 times a year to accommodate new cases, legislative changes, as well as updates in the practice and procedure in this area of law.

Remarks: Price includes future updates within 12 months. After 12 months, we will quote you the price for future updates of another 12 months.
