LITIGATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Asserting Rights

Whether you are trying to enforce an intellectual property right or seeking remedies for a breach of contract, disputes involve swift decisions and risks and liabilities assessment. Strategic planning and sound legal advice are important to limit your exposure and minimize the impact and the costs of litigation.

The Macau Special Administrative Region has been provided with its own Courts under the Basic Law and judgments and remedies awarded by its Courts are not subject to review or ratification by any foreign instance. Macau is a typical civil law jurisdiction with legislation being the main source of law as opposed to case law under a common law system.
