Arbitration and dispute resolution
We have published Practice note, Recognition and enforcement of judgments between the Mainland and Hong Kong: overview.

It also summarises the disparities between the Mainland-Hong Kong enforcement arrangement for judgments and the arrangement for arbitral awards.
Anti-bribery and anti-corruption
We have published Article, Anti-corruption due diligence in China. This article explains why and how to carry out detailed anti-corruption due diligence (ACDD) into a company to determine the presence of risk factors related to bribery and other corrupt activity. The article focuses on companies incorporated in China and covers acquisition related due diligence as well as due diligence into business partners. It also discusses mitigating measures for issues identified in ACDD.
