Commercial Disputes

 

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!

中国商事纠纷格局正加速演变,呈现出纠纷类型日益复杂、涉外程度不断加深、知识产权和数据隐私纠纷成为热点、替代性争议解决方式受到青睐等特点。这些变化对中国商事法律服务提出了新的挑战和机遇。

随着中国经济快速发展,国际贸易往来日益密切,涉及中国实体的商事纠纷数量激增,且纠纷类型更加复杂多樣。这些纠纷往往跨越多个司法管辖区,需要在不同法律体系下解决,对当事人提出了更高的专业性和合规性要求。

近年来,随着中国科技创新持续加力,知识产权保护日益受到重视,相关纠纷数量显著增长。此外,中国《个人信息保护法》的颁布实施,对数据隐私保护提出了更高要求,也引发了更多跨境商业活动中的数据治理争议。

为应对商事纠纷的复杂性,仲裁、调解等替代性争议解决方式因其高效、保密、经济等优势,受到越来越多当事人的选择。相比传统诉讼,替代性争议解决方式可以更快速、更灵活地解决纠纷,降低诉讼成本,并保护商业机密。

为了深入理解这些不断变化的趋势及其对商业纠纷的影响,《2025 ALB 商事纠纷法律指南》将成为您在充满挑战的商业环境中应对纠纷的指南,助您了解不断变化的法律格局及其对您开展业务的潜在影响,掌握解决商事纠纷的替代性方法,例如仲裁和调解的优势和局限性, 获得来自行业领先法律专业人士的专家意见。

ALB诚邀更多相关机构,参与本手册撰写。
