DHH Associated Firm established an international commercial mediation center to fully utilize the advantages of experts and legal talents from the head office and branches at home and abroad to provide mediation services through online and offline methods, and it promotes a harmonious, mutually beneficial, and equal mediation culture. The person in charge of the Mediation Center is Hong Kong Lawyer Xian Mingyu, who has taught mediation and negotiation courses for government departments, commercial organizations or other organizations many times, and actively participates in courses of the School of Professional and Continuing Education of the University of Hong Kong and other institutions, including government departments and professional/educational institutions as a tutor and coach. He has served as a full-time mediator since 2011 and has extensive experience in commercial litigation, property-related litigation, arbitration, insurance, and personal injury litigation. He is able to conduct targeted mediation and achieve satisfactory results.
According to the relevant provisions of the "Implementation Measures for the Pilot Reform of the Separation of Complex and Simplified Civil Procedures", if the parties to an international commercial dispute choose a special mediation organization for mediation, the mediation shall be under the jurisdiction of the basic people's court where the mediation organization is located. DHH Associated Firm is the specially invited mediation agency of the People’s Court of Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone. If the parties choose it as the mediation agency, after successful mediation of the case, both parties to the mediation can jointly report to Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone, and the people's court would apply for judicial confirmation. Such an institutional arrangement can uniformly resolve disputes that occur in various regions in the People's Court of Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone, which could greatly reduce the inconvenience caused by jurisdictional issues, and also enable successful mediation cases to be effectively confirmed and executed.
