Against a backdrop of corporate failures connected to China’s real estate sector, Hong Kong (as Asia’s leading financial centre) has seen a steady stream of adjacent financial services related disputes. This year’s In-Depth: Banking Litigation (formerly the Banking Litigation Law Review) (9th Edition) - Hong Kong Chapter explores the recent themes in financial-services related litigation in the Hong Kong Courts, and some other key developments that are relevant to the sector.

The Hong Kong chapter, authored by Partner Ralph Sellar and Counsel Jason Cheng, (with support from Senior Associate Timothy Shaw, Legal Assistant (pending admission) Warwick Chan and Trainee Solicitor Martha Savage), looks at recent cases and legislative updates, regulatory trends and an outlook in Hong Kong banking litigation. 

The In-Depth (formerly The Law Reviews), published by Law Business Research Limited, are guides to developments in various legal practice areas in key jurisdictions. Our partners and associates edit and contribute to a number of these guides which are available on our Law Reviews page.
