第一，争议解决条款怎么约

选诉讼还是仲裁、由哪里管辖、适用哪边法律，会直接影响日后判决或裁决能否在资产所在地落地。

第二，两地认可与执行机制能否适用

内地与香港之间已有相应的认可与执行制度安排，但具体能不能用、要满足什么条件，仍需结合个案事实与文件判断。

第三，对方资产底数在哪里

资产是否在香港、是否可被执行、有没有被转移的风险，是执行能否真正产生效果的前提。赢得官司，往往只是第一步。

管辖与适用法选错，可能让日后的执行事倍功半。

常见问题 · FAQ

Q：和香港公司打赢了官司，就一定能执行到钱吗？

肖黄鹤律师：不一定。赢得官司往往只是第一步。能否真正回款，取决于争议解决条款怎么约定、内地与香港的认可与执行机制是否适用，以及对方资产是否在可执行的范围内、有没有被转移的风险。

Q：争议解决条款里，管辖和适用法的选择为什么这么重要？

肖黄鹤律师：选诉讼还是仲裁、由哪里管辖、适用哪边法律，会直接影响日后判决或裁决能否在资产所在地落地。管辖与适用法一旦选错，可能让日后的执行事倍功半，因此最好在交易开始前评估。

Q：内地与香港之间已有认可与执行的制度安排，是不是所有判决都能跨境执行？

肖黄鹤律师：内地与香港之间已有相应的认可与执行制度安排，但具体能不能用、要满足什么条件，仍需结合个案事实与文件判断。同时还要看对方资产是否在香港、是否可被执行、有没有被转移的风险。

First, design the dispute resolution clause

Litigation or arbitration, the chosen forum, the governing law and jurisdiction all materially affect whether a judgment or award can later land where the assets are.

Second, assess recognition and enforcement

Mainland China and Hong Kong already have arrangements for recognition and enforcement, but whether they apply — and on what conditions — still turns on the facts and documents of the case.

Third, map the asset base

Whether assets sit in Hong Kong, can be reached, or risk being moved — this decides whether enforcement actually bites. Winning is only the first step.

The wrong choice of jurisdiction and governing law can make later enforcement far harder than it needed to be.

FAQ

Q: If I win a case against a Hong Kong company, am I sure to recover the money?

Xiao Huanghe: Not necessarily. Winning is often only the first step. Whether you actually recover depends on how the dispute resolution clause is drafted, whether the Mainland–Hong Kong recognition and enforcement mechanisms apply, and whether the counterparty's assets are within reach and at risk of being moved.

Q: Why do the choice of jurisdiction and governing law in the dispute resolution clause matter so much?

Xiao Huanghe: Litigation or arbitration, the chosen forum and the governing law all directly affect whether a judgment or award can later land where the assets are. The wrong choice can make later enforcement far harder than it needed to be, so it is best assessed before the deal begins.

Q: Mainland China and Hong Kong already have recognition and enforcement arrangements — does that mean every judgment can be enforced across the border?

Xiao Huanghe: The arrangements exist, but whether they apply and on what conditions still turns on the facts and documents of the case. You must also consider whether the assets sit in Hong Kong, can be reached, or risk being moved.
