"一带一路" 倡议中的法律纷争
据估计,中国的"一带一路"倡议是历史上规模最大的基础设施和投资项目之一,覆盖70多个国家,涉及世界上65%的人口和全球GDP的三分之一(资料来源:欧洲复兴开发银行)。迄今为止,已有150多个国家和组织与中华人民共和国签署了共建"一带一路"协议。
到目前为止,这项协议的相关投资主要涉及基础设施连接、能源和采矿、运输和电信网络以及房地产。尽管这些项目潜在价值高,但是跨越了不同法律、监管和政治环境的国家,因此很容易出现风险。这也使得了解如何驾驭跨国项目的运作,并使之盈利显得至关重要。
我们完全有能力处理可能发生的任何争议事件。我们在伦敦拥有最大、最全面的调节纠纷的服务体系,并与"一带一路"沿线不同司法管辖区的顶级律师建立了牢固的关系。
我们专注于复杂的法律纠纷事件、调查和跨境禁令,同时,我们拥有着英国最大的专业国际禁令专家团队。我们既是律师又是仲裁员,业务涉及所有主要的仲裁机构。我们在民事和刑事领域都有所专长,能够处理涉及腐败、欺诈、洗钱和有争议的监管事项的案件。
我们是一家位于伦敦并且具备国际视野的公司。我们的团队拥有220多位诉讼律师,在全球70多个国家中进行过诉讼。大约有70%的客户需求来自海外,而且我们有很大一部分的工作都在英国以外的地区进行。我们在中国、中亚和东欧、中东和非洲都有专门的业务。

China's Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) is, by some estimates, one of the largest infrastructure and investment projects in history, covering more than 70 countries, 65 per cent of the world’s population and one-third of the world’s GDP (source: EBRD). Over 150 countries and organisations have signed agreements with the People's Republic of China on the joint implementation of the Belt & Road Initiative to date.
Investments thus far have largely involved infrastructure connectivity, energy & mining, transport & telecommunications networks and real estate. Whilst potentially high value, projects that span countries with widely varied legal, regulatory and political environments are prone to risk. Knowing how to navigate the cross-border structures that allow a positive return on investment is vital.
We are well placed to deal with any issues that may occur. We have one of the largest and most comprehensive Dispute Resolution offerings in London and have strong regional relationships with best-in-class disputes lawyers in the different jurisdictions along the BRI routes.
We focus on complex disputes, investigations and cross-border injunctions and we have the largest dedicated group of international injunction specialists in the UK. We act as both counsel and arbitrators, involving all of the major arbitral institutions. We have expertise in both civil and criminal arenas, handling cases involving corruption, fraud, money laundering and contentious regulatory matters.
