Haiwen Secures Comprehensive Arbitration Victory for Leading Financial Institution

海问律师事务所欣然宣布，在一宗由香港国际仲裁中心（HKIAC）管理、以香港为仲裁地的仲裁案件中成功代表一家领先金融机构，获得几乎全面胜诉的裁决。

Haiwen & Partners is pleased to announce that it has successfully represented a leading financial institution in a Hong Kong-seated arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), achieving a near-complete victory for its client.

该案件涉及一项保证金融资与证券交易相关的跨境合同纠纷。仲裁程序依据《香港国际仲裁中心管理规则（2018年版）》进行，适用香港法律，仲裁语言为英文。

The dispute arose from a cross-border contractual relationship involving margin financing and securities trading. The arbitration was conducted under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (2018), with Hong Kong law as the governing law and English as the language of the proceedings. The arbitration was handled directly by Haiwen’s Hong Kong office without the engagement of external counsel, underscoring the firm’s in-house capability and expertise in managing complex cross-border disputes.

仲裁庭近期作出最终裁决，支持客户的绝大部分诉求，包括追偿未偿还款项、合同约定利息及以弥偿基准评定的法律费用。仲裁庭并裁定，客户有权根据仲裁规则及合同条款全额获得仲裁费用赔偿。本案由海问香港办公室直接承办，未聘请出庭大律师，充分体现出本所仲裁团队在复杂跨境争议中的独立办案能力与专业水准。

The Tribunal has recently issued a final award in favour of the client, granting substantially all of the relief sought, including recovery of the outstanding amount, contractual interest, and legal costs on an indemnity basis. The Tribunal also confirmed the client’s entitlement to recover the full costs of the arbitration, in line with the applicable rules and contractual provisions.

在仲裁启动不久后，海问上海办公室代表客户成功向中国内地法院申请财产保全措施，查封、冻结了被申请人名下的银行账户以及其持有的上市公司股票。该保全措施依据《关于内地与香港特别行政区法院就仲裁程序相互协助保全的安排》（“《安排》”）获得批准，体现出该《安排》在跨境仲裁中日益成为保障债权人权益的重要法律工具。

Shortly after the commencement of the arbitration, Haiwen’s Shanghai team successfully obtained an asset preservation order from a Mainland Chinese court to detain and freeze the respondent’s bank accounts as well as stocks of a listed company. The preservation order was secured under the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, making it one of the increasingly important tools for safeguarding creditor rights in cross-border arbitration.

本案充分彰显了海问在跨境争议解决中的协同优势。香港办公室与上海办公室密切配合，有效推动仲裁程序，及时采取资产保全措施，并为后续裁决的执行奠定基础。

This case underscores Haiwen’s ability to deliver seamless and coordinated legal service across offices. The Hong Kong and Shanghai offices worked in close collaboration to secure effective interim relief, advance the arbitration, and prepare for subsequent enforcement actions.

海问香港办公室合伙人刘洋律师表示：“本案的胜诉再次印证了海问在国际仲裁与跨境资产保全领域的深厚经验与专业实力。我们很高兴为客户实现既定的诉讼目标，也感谢内地同事的通力合作，为客户提供全方位的法律服务。”

“This result reflects our firm’s deep expertise in international arbitration and cross-border asset protection,” said Edward Liu, Partner at Haiwen & Partners LLP. “We are proud to have delivered a strategic and commercially sound outcome for our client, and to have worked alongside our colleagues on the Mainland to ensure full-spectrum legal support.”
