I was very honoured to have been invited by Hong Kong’s Department of Justice and the Asian Academy of International Law (AAIL) to speak recently  in several of their “Why Hong Kong?” seminars.   These were designed to answer concerns about investing in Hong Kong in light of recent public criticisms.  In particular, there had been suggestions in the world’s press that businesses were starting to move their investments away from Hong Kong and were preferring to draft dispute resolution clauses so as to avoid Hong Kong arbitration.
