Established in 1999, Hong Kong Mediation Centre (HKMC) is the first professional mediation organisation recognised as a charitable institution in Hong Kong. It has more than 1,000 members from various professional sectors and plays a leading role in the mediation industry. For over 20 years, HKMC has strived to promote the development of mediation through its diverse services, aiming to create a harmonious community. Apart from professional mediation services provision, its scope of services extends to areas such as professional training, professionalisation, public education and publicity, and external collaboration.
Being highly recognised by Hong Kong, the Mainland and the international community, HKMC is positioned as a law-related organisation within the international Legal Hub by the HKSAR Government and co-founded many major joint mediation organisations. With the approval of the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China, HKMC becomes one of the first specially invited mediation organisations of Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone People’s Court to assist the country in handling disputes related to foreign matters. HKMC is also granted observer status at the invitation of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), actively participating in the formulation of international convention. This advances Hong Kong’s vital roles as “super connector” and “super value-adder”, and further strengthen its position as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre.
