Mediation in Hong Kong

It is recognized by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and the Hong Kong Mediation Council that the skills of a successful mediator are largely unrelated to the type of dispute. A mediator having specialist knowledge of the type of dispute may however facilitate settlement in some cases. It is not felt to be part of the normal accreditation process to assess the specialist knowledge of potential panel members. Parties seeking mediation are usually well equipped to assess the relevance of specialist knowledge and to select a mediator accordingly. The exception to this rule is in the area of family mediation. In this area, specialist knowledge of family law and dynamics is required.In light of the above, the HKIAC maintains two panels of accredited mediators:-
(1) General Panel; and
(2) Family Panel.An individual may qualify for both panels but as few people are expected to seek such dual accreditation, the two panels have therefore separate accreditation procedures.
