Guide To Dispute Resolution In Asia, Including China.

By Dan

London based mega law firm Herbert Smith just came out with its eighth edition of its "Guide to dispute resolution in Asia" and it is excellent. This guide "is intended to provide a concise, accessible overview of the practical issues involving dispute resolution across the region," and that is exactly what it does. 

The guide has sections for just about every country in Asia and each section consists of 32 practical questions and answers relating to litigation and arbitration in each country, put together either by Herbert Smith or by a top firm in the respective country. This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to litigating or arbitrating in Asia, but it is the ideal first place for lawyers (and even non-lawyers) to look to get a quick feel for what a particular feel for how particular Asian countries handle their litigation and arbitration matters.

I recommend it.
