HKIAC

The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) is a non-profit organisation established in Hong Kong in 1985, specialising in arbitration, mediation, adjudication and domain name dispute resolution. Apart from administering institution arbitrations, HKIAC is also the default appointing authority for ad hoc arbitrations under the Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance. HKIAC also operates as the Hong Kong Office and Permanent Secretariat of the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre. With more than 30 years of experience, HKIAC has become the leading dispute resolution centre and enjoys a high reputation in international arbitration. HKIAC is the first foreign arbitration institution in the world to set up its representative office in Mainland China. It is also a qualified arbitration institution under the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Pursuant to the decision made on 22 June 2022 by the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China, it is the first arbitral institution outside the Mainland to be included in the “One-Stop” Platform for Diversified International Commercial Dispute Resolution of the China International Commercial Court.
