The key to limiting exposure and minimising the impact and costs of litigation is to plan strategically and to have thorough legal advice capable of assessing risks and liabilities and making swift decisions.
Under the Basic Law, the Macau S.A.R. has its own independent judicial system, which comprises the Court of First Instance, the Appeals Court and the Supreme Court. The Macau Courts’ decisions are not subject to reviews or ratifications by any foreign instances. 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.
Encompassing the largest team in our firm, our Litigation practice has been widely recognised and respected for its broad experience in all its variations.
