In the keynote speech session, Vice Chairman Yang Yuyuan delivered a speech titled ‘Improving the Overseas Risk Prevention and Management System: Provide Reliable International Arbitration Support for SMEs’ Overseas Expansion’, which provides practical legal advice for enterprises to expand overseas. She analyzed key practical issues in depth, including the most easily overlooked ‘invisible minefield’ in the risk of commercial contracts and the fastest-growing ‘compliance reef’ in the legal and compliance risk in the past three years. She also emphasized: ‘For small and medium-sized enterprises that go global, compliance and risk control are very important. Arbitration clauses are the ‘spare tires and airbags for overseas expansion’.’ As an international legal center, Hong Kong has unique advantages in resolving cross-border disputes in the Greater Bay Area. As a Hong Kong arbitration institution that connects the global resources of the Asia-Pacific International Arbitration Center (APIAC), APIAC-HKAC can provide enterprises with flexible dispute resolution services across multiple jurisdictions.
