On 29 November, Dentons Hong Kong partner Alfred Wu spoke at the “The Age of Exploration: Opportunities and Challenges for Chinese Enterprises Going Global” forum, co-organized by Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) office and the Shanghai Pudong New Area Returned Overseas Chinese Federation. The forum brought together nearly 30 industry leaders and experts to explore critical issues for Chinese enterprises expanding internationally, with a focus on legal challenges, compliance risks, and opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). As a panelist in the roundtable discussion on “Dispute Resolution Practices for Chinese Enterprises,” Alfred shared insights on navigating the complexities of international commercial disputes under the BRI. He emphasized the importance of robust dispute resolution mechanisms to ensure the stability and success of Chinese enterprises in global markets. Highlighting Hong Kong’s role as a premier hub for cross-border dispute resolution, Alfred pointed to its strong legal framework, pro-arbitration judiciary, and minimalist court intervention that respects party autonomy while ensuring due process. Alfred’s participation reflects Dentons Hong Kong’s commitment to empowering Chinese enterprises in their globalization journey. By leveraging Hong Kong’s strategic advantages and Dentons’ extensive global network, the firm continues to support businesses in seizing international opportunities while ensuring sustainable growth and long-term success on the global stage. #Dentons #DentonsHongKong #Dacheng #Globalization #CrossBorderDisputes #DisputeResolution #BRI #BeltandRoadInitiative 

Currently, Hong Kong lacks specific laws regulating Advance Medical Directives (AMDs) and Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation orders, despite AMDs being acknowledged under common law. The absence of a clear legal framework has resulted in practical challenges and legal ambiguities for both patients and healthcare providers. The growing acceptance of AMDs among patients and healthcare professionals highlights the need for formal legislation.
