Hong Kong lawyers are currently precluded from charging fees dependent or contingent upon the outcome of an arbitration. As part of an effort to review the current position relating to outcome related fee structures for arbitration, a Sub-Committee has been constituted to consider whether reform is needed to the relevant law and regulatory framework and, if so, to make recommendations for reform as appropriate.
DVC’s José-Antonio Maurellet SC and Benny Lo have been appointed as members of that Sub-Committee.
