Co-organized by CEAC & BAC
Beijing, April 28, 2009
Introduction to organizers:
CEAC: The Chinese European Arbitration Centre ("CEAC") offers services of an institutional arbitration centre tailor-made to the needs of trade with China. It is based on a truly global approach granting equal power to Chinese, European and worldwide participants in the market (from areas other than Europe and China). This approach guaranties neutrality, in particular during the process for the choice of a neutral arbitrator. CEAC is an institution officially established by the Hamburg Bar Organization (an official administration representing more than 7000 lawyers), by the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce (representing companies in Hamburg and home of the Hamburg Beijing Conciliation Centre since over 20 yeas) and by leading lawyers and law firms from around the globe. Under German law, to start its activities, the CEAC was duly registered with the Commercial Register of Hamburg at HRB 106638. It does not require a further license. The Hamburg Senator has given its explicit approval and accepted the patronage to the institution by a letter dated 18 September (which is the date of the CEAC inauguration). CEAC is supported by all of the over 80 founders from 19 nations and all members of the Chinese European Legal Association CELA which include many leading international law firms.
BAC: The Beijing Arbitration Commission (“BAC”) is a non-profit permanent organization devoted to the providing of a forum for impartial and efficient alternative dispute resolution including arbitration and mediation. The BAC focuses on contractual and property-related disputes, both domestic and international, especially concerning engineering and construction, international sales of goods and foreign investment. Since its founding on September 28 1995, the BAC has grown into the foremost arbitration commission in China. The BAC dealt with about 2000 cases a year on average in the past three years. The BAC has attracted famous arbitrators all around the world. 60 arbitrators coming from 13 countries are included in the Panel of Arbitrators of the BAC, occupying near one sixth of all arbitrators. The BAC is one of the best ideal alternatives for international clients to solve disputes in China.
