Our Dispute Resolution Group provides you access to over 300 dedicated practice lawyers. With our extensive global network, we are able to support your business in China, throughout Europe and in key emerging markets.

Our Dispute Resolution Group experts are committed to helping you analyse risks, manage disputes and seek resolutions that are both constructive and commercially viable. For this reason our experts are not just litigators or arbitrators but are commercially minded problem solvers.

International and Domestic Arbitration Expertise

We are experts in handling complex disputes, both in China and internationally, involving international and domestic arbitration and all forms of alternative dispute resolution. Also, CMS partners regularly act as arbitrators in international disputes.

In China, we have profound experience supporting our clients, including foreign investors and their Chinese subsidiaries on all questions in connection with international and domestic arbitration before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) and other Chinese arbitration institutions. We also advise Chinese companies in overseas arbitration.

Coordination of Domestic Litigation

According to Chinese law, as a foreign law firm, we are not entitled to represent our clients before Chinese People’s Courts. For such litigation proceedings, we closely cooperate with Chinese law firms who represent our clients directly before the courts. In the same manner we assist our clients in enforcing judgments and arbitral awards in China to be enforced through Chinese People’s Courts.
