The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("CISG") provides a set of uniform rules governing contracts for international sale of goods, with a view to removing legal barriers in, and promoting the development of, international trade. CISG was first entered into force on 1 January 1988.  As at 1 February 2020, 93 countries are signatories to the CIGS.  Out of these 93 countries, 20 of which are top trading partners of the HKSAR.

While China is a contracting party to the CISG, Hong Kong is not.

In recent years, as more countries become signatories, and given that the CISG has been actively used in mooting competitions and many "soon to be legal practitioners" globally are well familiar with CISG, Hong Kong sees the need to have CISG in place to provide an "alternative" framework to our traditional sale of goods framework.

Now that the CISG is scheduled to take effect on around the third quarter of 2022, it is important for the business communities, in particular, in-house counsels to familiar themselves with this "alternative" model by way of CISG.

In light of the geopolitical situation and the ever-growing sanctions activities, companies have started managing their data base more actively to ensure a better sanctions risk assessment. However, some companies rely solely on data provided by third parties and may not have regularly audited their database results, while some companies may have just missed the Chinese screening and recently Russian screening due to the lack of language resources.

In this webinar, the FTI speakers will cover the following:

• What GC and compliance officers can do to improve their sanctions risk assessment process and what a proper risk assessment program should look like
• How machine learning and AI can help conduct corruption and sanctions risk assessments and increase its efficiency and accuracy
•  How data analytics can be practically applied in sanctions risk assessments (with real case studies)

Driven by regulatory change, consumer and investor demand and a realization among institutions, boards, employees and other stakeholders of the importance of environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) issues to sustainable growth, companies worldwide have increasingly had to navigate the emerging challenges and opportunities relating to these issues.

This is also true of compliance with human rights, where addressing and mitigating any potential adverse human rights impacts and associated legal risks is a priority for many corporations, including compliance with, for example, human rights, slavery and trafficking statutes.

What role can international arbitration play in addressing some of the legal consequences deriving from these concerns?

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of listed companies in Hong Kong face uncertain business conditions and unprecedented financial difficulties.  This has led to an increased risk of trading suspensions and delistings under the more streamlined approach adopted by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) in 2018 to enable the cancellation of the listing of a suspended company after a trading suspension of 18 continuous months. Following the unsuccessful outcome of the review application made to the Listing Review Committee (LRC) and as a measure of last resort, some listed companies facing the threat of delisting have sought to challenge the decisions of the HKEX by way of judicial review in a hope to delay or avoid delisting. However, the Hong Kong courts have generally been unsympathetic to the applicants despite a wide range of innovative grounds and arguments being put forward. The threshold, therefore, remains high and it will be an uphill battle for listed companies to overturn the HKEX’s decisions. 

In this webinar, we will look into the requirements for listed issuers to maintain their listing status, the successful and unsuccessful arguments that have been deployed in challenging delisting decisions under Hong Kong’s current regime based on the recent LRC decisions and judicial review decisions, the considerations for the HKEX and the Court, and practical tips for suspended listed issuers to resume trading within the remedial period.

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, employers have seen a huge increase in requests from employees to work from home in another country for the short, medium and long term.

Although this may seem a sensible option in the circumstances, the creation of a temporary overseas workforce presents potential pitfalls for employers. Employers should therefore be mindful of the various legal implications of these “work from home, abroad” arrangements before agreeing to such requests.

In this session, Lewis Silkin’s Hong Kong team will cover:

• Key considerations for employers when evaluating requests to work from home abroad, including in relation to tax, local employment rights, immigration issues and data protection; and
• Key practical steps for employers to help minimise the risks of any legal problems.
