Last week, we published the first article from our ADR in Asia Guide. This summarised the main ADR processes and their use across Asia. Here, you can access the second article from our Guide - a practical guide to mediation. It is five years since the Civil Justice Reform (CJR) put mediation at the heart of Hong Kong's dispute resolution landscape. Yet it remains a relatively under-used mechanism for resolving disputes. This guide explains what mediation is, why it works, and how and when best to use it. It contains practical advice on mediator selection, mediation preparation, what to expect from the mediation day, and the client's role in it. Whilst we focus on the rules and procedures relevant to mediating in Hong Kong, much of the article is of general application and assistance, regardless of the jurisdiction in which you are contemplating mediation.
