Dispute resolution

With over 30 years’ experience, Vivien Chan & Co has built itself a strong reputation in general disputes and intellectual property. The firm is frequently seen working with in-house counsel of multinational companies as well as high-net-worth individuals. Senior partner Vivien Chan oversees the practice. Partner Owen Tse is a key contact for arbitration and construction matters. For IP disputes, Anna Mae Koo is a well-regarded practitioner.

In intellectual property, the firm represented an international luxury conglomerate in global coexistence and settlement negotiation with a Chinese competitor and devised strategies on removing the Chinese competitor’s conflicting trademark applications and registrations in Hong Kong and China. The firm obtained favourable outcomes in the administrative proceedings in Hong Kong and China and concluded a global coexistence and settlement agreement with terms highly favourable to its client.

The rest of the clients the firm has advised on during the research period remain confidential.
