Chinese law restricts both the choice of law and the types of dispute
resolution mechanism in China-related commercial contracts. As a
result, drafting governing law and dispute resolution clauses in these
contracts is not straightforward.
This guide,
designed for clients doing business in China or with Chinese
counterparties, explains when the restrictions apply and how to draft so
your contracts do not fall foul of them. The guide has been updated to
include recent developments in China arbitration, including new rules
published by China’s leading arbitral institution (CIETAC),
arbitration-related amendments to the PRC Civil Procedure law, and a
recent internal dispute within CIETAC. Now in its 5th edition, it has
proven popular with in-house counsel working both in and outside China.
Justin D’Agostino, head of the Greater China international
arbitration practice, commented: “Drafting China-related contracts can
be complicated; it is important to know the rules around disputes and
choice of law clauses, as well as the traps to avoid. We are proud to
have produced a guide that genuinely helps our clients navigate the
process and can be used as a day-to-day resource.”
