New developments of China’s new Arbitration Law

China’s latest arbitration reform moves its framework closer to international practice, with direct consequences for European parties operating cross-border.

  • Ad Hoc Arbitration

    Official recognition of ad hoc arbitration within specific zones (such as Free Trade Zones), giving parties more flexibility outside established commissions.

  • Interim Measures

    Clearer mechanisms for interim relief, allowing international investors to secure assets or maintain the status quo through Chinese courts before a final award is rendered.

  • Foreign Arbitral Institutions

    Foreign institutions (such as the ICC or the Swiss Arbitration Centre) can now manage cases on the mainland more effectively, reducing “home-court advantage” concerns for European firms.
