Approval by the State Council and established in 1987, the Mediation Center of CCPIT / CCOIC is China’s first permanent mediation agency to resolve commercial and maritime disputes for Chinese and foreign parties in a fair and independent manner through mediation. It has 51 branches in major cities across the country, and has established cooperation mechanism with other dispute resolution agencies in 18 countries and regions around the world. With its rich experience on mediation work for more than 30 years, it has helped Chinese and foreign parties successfully resolve a large number of commercial disputes.

At present, mediation, as a dispute resolution method, has become very common. With the continuous advancement and implementation of the reform of civil justice system, it is increasingly becoming a trend to encourage parties to replace other dispute resolution methods with fast and efficient mediation. In response to market development trends and clients’ demands, ZhongYin Law Firm also established ZhongYin Securities and Finance Dispute Mediation Center in October 2018 to mediate securities and finance disputes nationwide, with a view to contributing to the improvement of the diversified dispute resolution mechanism in the capital market, expansion of the channels for investors to protect their rights, protection of investors’ legitimate rights and interests, and promotion of the healthy development of the securities market.
