To adopt and implement GBA standards systematically and strategically, the Department of Justice of the Hong Kong SAR Government (DoJ) actively promotes the establishment of a GBA Commercial Mediation and Arbitration Platform under the support of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Legal Departments Joint Conference, bringing together mediation and arbitration institutions in the GBA for promoting the adoption of relevant GBA standards.

In the seventh Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Legal Departments Joint Conference held on 9 December 2025, the DoJ and representatives of the legal departments of Guangdong and Macao engaged in comprehensive discussions on several major areas, such as the interfaces of legal talent and regulatory frameworks of mediation and arbitration. Substantial results were achieved by the meeting, fully demonstrating the positive role of the joint conference mechanism of the legal departments of the three places. The meeting reached a consensus on the proposal by the DoJ to establish a GBA commercial mediation and arbitration platform. The platform will bring together mediation and arbitration institutions in the GBA to jointly promote the establishment and adoption of relevant GBA standards, and collectively enhance the efficiency of dispute resolution in the region.
