Client feedback
"This was a complex case, particularly from a procedural perspective – some of the issues were novel, as they had not been dealt with in the Tribunal before. Dentons brought valuable insight from their extensive experience litigating complex disputes before the Hong Kong courts. This enabled those procedural challenges to be navigated effectively." – Competition/antitrust
