We build deep relationships with clients to intricately

Our team, based in Auckland, New Zealand, specialise in arbitration and mediation for local, Mandarin speaking Chinese businesses and individuals.

Led by Lawyer, Margaret Chen, our arbitration and mediation services focus on addressing quicker and more cost-effective settlements in situations where agreements and expectations between parties may be more ambiguous and language and culture may otherwise be a barrier. This is a common issue faced by those operating within the Chinese cultural norms in New Zealand.
