Q: What is the difference between litigation, arbitration and mediation?

Litigation is court-based, arbitration is a resolution through a private arbitral tribunal and mediation is a mediator-facilitated communication and negotiation process.

Q: Can an arbitration award be enforced internationally?

Arbitral awards are enforceable amongst the countries under the New York Convention.

Hong Kong is part of China and the New York Convention was extended to Hong Kong by

China upon resumption of sovereignty in 1997.

Q: How do I initiate arbitration or mediation?

You should review your contract for an ADR clause. If there is none, parties can still agree

to pursue these modes, potentially with the help of an arbitration institution.
