On the morning of April 10, 2024, President Ma Zhanjun of the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber and Director Li Xinyi of the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber Hong Kong Arbitration Center were invited to attend a symposium at Guangdong ETR Law Firm. Attending the symposium were Zhu Tao, Co-Chairman of the Management Committee and Partner of Guangdong ETR Law Firm, as well as Partners Zhong Zhifen, Huang Heng, Zhang You, Chen Chunyan, Huang Jin, a lawyer qualified to practice in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, Pan Yiming, a foreign-related lawyer, and Chen Jiewen, Deputy Director of the Administration Office and Head of the Business Department.
Mr. Zhu Tao, Co-Chairman of the Management Committee and Partner of ETR Law Firm, led President Ma Zhanjun and his delegation on a tour of the law firm's offices, introducing them to the firm's background and development history, with a focus on the firm's experience and achievements in the field of international legal services.
Subsequently, the symposium officially commenced, chaired by Mr. Zhu Tao, Co-Chairman of the Management Committee and Partner of ETR Law Firm.
President Ma Zhanjun introduced the founding principles and organizational structure of the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber and shared insights into the current trends in China's legal services market. President Ma stated that deepening international economic and trade investment and cooperation is not only an important part of China's national development strategy but also a major trend in future global economic activities. The further establishment and improvement of the global trade chain have opened up a significant gap in China's domestic legal services market for international dispute resolution. To address this, the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber has established the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber Hong Kong Arbitration Center in Hong Kong, aiming to radiate throughout the entire Greater Bay Area. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific International Arbitration Chamber has also established arbitration centers or service centers in countries and regions such as Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hangzhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing, forming a united operating system of "mutual support and online collaboration" among its branches, providing comprehensive international arbitration services for entities with international dispute resolution needs in China and globally.
