Arbitration
Arbitration is a consensual alternative dispute resolution process where parties agree to submit their disputes to be resolved by one or more arbitrators instead of resolving through Court proceedings. Arbitration is private and confidential, and there are no restrictions on who may represent the parties in an arbitration.
ONC Lawyers has extensive experience in domestic and international arbitrations, and had previously handled various ad hoc arbitrations and institutional arbitrations administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA), the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and other arbitration institutions.
