海问律师事务所欣然宣布，本所香港办公室合伙人刘洋律师获香港特别行政区政府律政司司长林定国资深大律师委任为仲裁法改革工作小组成员。 

Haiwen & Partners is pleased to announce that Mr. Edward Liu, Partner in the firm’s Hong Kong office, has been appointed by Mr. Paul Lam SC, Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong SAR Government, as a member of the Working Group on Arbitration Law Reform.

该工作小组由律政司设立，旨在检讨《仲裁条例》（第609章），并就相关立法改革提出建议，以进一步完善香港的仲裁法律框架。本次改革工作是香港政府推动香港巩固其作为国际仲裁枢纽地位的重要举措之一。 

The Working Group, established by the Department of Justice, is tasked with reviewing the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap. 609) and recommending legislative reforms to enhance and modernise Hong Kong’s arbitration framework. This initiative forms part of the Government’s broader efforts to reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a premier international arbitration hub.

该工作小组由七位成员组成，均为法律界的杰出代表，包括律政司司长（担任主席）、副司长（担任副主席）、一位终审法院常任法官、两位英国御用大律师、香港国际仲裁中心秘书长以及刘洋律师。该委任反映了律政司对刘律师在国际仲裁领域的深厚专业知识、思想领导力，以及他在香港及区域法律政策发展方面的重要贡献的高度认可。

The Working Group comprises a select and distinguished group of seven members, including the Secretary for Justice as Chairperson, the Deputy Secretary for Justice as Vice-Chairperson, a Permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal, two King’s Counsel, the Secretary-General of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, and Mr. Liu. Thus, such appointment reflects the Department’s recognition of Mr. Liu’s deep expertise in international arbitration, his reputation for thought leadership, and his significant contributions to legal and policy development in Hong Kong and the region.

刘洋律师的任期为两年，由2025年10月30日起至2027年10月29日止。

Mr. Liu’s appointment is for a term of two years, from 30 October 2025 to 29 October 2027 

“能够获委任为这一重要工作小组的成员，我深感荣幸。”刘律师表示，“我期待与各位资深专家共同努力，为香港仲裁制度的未来发展贡献力量，特别是在当前跨境争议解决日益倚重创新与国际接轨的时代背景下。”

“It is a great honour to be appointed to this important Working Group,” said Mr. Liu. “I look forward to contributing to the ongoing development of Hong Kong’s arbitration regime, particularly at a time when innovation and international alignment are becoming increasingly important in cross-border dispute resolution.”

此次任命，不仅彰显了海问在法律专业与公共事务领域持续追求卓越的承诺，也进一步印证了刘洋律师作为亚洲仲裁律师之一的地位，深受客户、业界及机构的广泛信赖。

This appointment highlights Haiwen’s continued commitment to legal excellence and public engagement, and affirms Mr. Liu’s standing as one of Asia’s leading arbitration practitioners, trusted by clients, peers, and institutions alike.
