Des Voeux Chambers had the pleasure of hosting a visit and seminar for a training course for a delegation of arbitration lawyers jointly organised by the Ministry of Justice of China and the Hong Kong International Legal Talents Training Academy (HKITTLA) under the Department of Justice of Hong Kong.
The delegation comprised in-house counsel from State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), esteemed arbitrators and arbitration lawyers hand-picked by the Ministry of Justice, and Mainland lawyers’ associations.
Winnie Tam SC, William Wong, S.C., Jenkin Suen SC and Frances Lok SC led a lively panel discussion with the delegation, tackling key issues faced by mainland enterprises in international arbitration.

Participants gained valuable insights into Hong Kong’s dual-track legal profession and its unique advantages in both international and Mainland commercial practices. Many noted that the exchange significantly enhanced their understanding of Hong Kong’s cultural adaptability in arbitration proceedings.
At Des Voeux Chambers, we remain dedicated to leveraging Hong Kong’s international legal expertise to support the training of foreign-related legal talent and enhance cross-border dispute resolution mechanisms.
