    U.S.-Asia Lawyer Cooperation Forum was held in the downtown area on the 16th. From right: Vincent Chang, Doris Ling-Cohan, Stewart D. Aaron, Julie Guo, Linping Shen, Hua Dong (Photo/Reporter Fang Meng) U.S.-Asia Lawyer Cooperation Forum Held Reported by Fang Meng From New York As business exchanges between China and the United States becomes increasingly frequent, and following the trend of Chinese companies undertaking public listings and financing projects in the United States, the U.S.-Asia Lawyer Cooperation Forum was held at the New York County Lawyer’s Association in downtown Manhattan on the 16th, with members of the Chinese and American legal communities speaking, drawing a number of Chinese and American attorneys. New York County Lawyer’s Association President Stewart D. Aaron said, the business connections between China and the United States are growing ever closer, primarily embodied in certain Chinese companies with ongoing business activities in the United States. When the business volume reaches a certain level, [they] may choose to conduct legal proceedings in the US, and the legal affairs involved in cooperation between Chinese and U.S. corporations. He believes that differences in the legal systems, in translation, and in culture may sometimes lead to lengthened timeframes, which also requires greater understanding from both parties. New York State Supreme Court Judge Doris Ling-Cohan pointed out in her speech that, the most remarkable things about the US legal system are that the law guarantees the legal rights and interests of both parties regardless of their levels of wealth, that judges adjudicate cases independently, and that the trial format is primarily by independent juries.

    Swiss-Chinese Dispute Resolution Forum What the China-Switzerland Free Trade Agreement and Switzerland’s Arbitration Hub can offer to Chinese Companies 12 – 13 May 2015 Sofitel Shanghai Hyland Hotel 505 Nanjing Road East 200001 Shanghai Schedule at a glance Day One: Public Seminar: 12 May 2015 Day Two: Workshops for Practitioners: 13 May 2015 Conference topic Commerce between China and Switzerland is at an all-time high and is only set to continue its increase, especially in light of the Free Trade Agreement that came into force last year. Switzerland represents a unique opportunity for outbound Chinese investment, not only as its own market but as a gateway to Europe. Its centrally located, stable and reliable economy is linked to the neighbouring European Union through a network of bilateral agreements. Moreover, the Swiss legal system and its long- standing traditions of neutrality and dispute resolution make it the ideal choice as a seat of arbitration for agreements between Chinese and European (or other) parties. The Swiss judicial environment is arbitration-friendly and efficient. Like China, Switzerland has a civil law tradition, making Swiss law particularly well-suited to contracts involving Chinese parties. Switzerland is also home to a number of established and internationally renown arbitration institutions, including the Swiss Chambers’ International Arbitration Institution, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Center, the World Trade Organization’s Dispute Resolution Panel, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Workshop Objective and methodology On the occasion of the Swiss-Chinese Dispute Resolution Forum, Swiss arbitration experts will be available for a day to share practical know-how on key aspects of international arbitration proceedings.
