Mission

The BAC focuses on contractual and property-related disputes, both commercial and international, among citizens, legal persons and other organizations. Since its founding, the BAC has grown into the foremost arbitration commission in China. From an initial annual load of only a handful of cases, today the BAC consistently ranks among the top in both cases accepted and total disputed amount.

The BAC provides its services to both domestic and foreign parties and its Panel of Arbitrators includes over fifty well-established foreign arbitrators. It participates in international seminars and trains its arbitrators in international ADR practices.

BAC arbitrations emphasize three qualities:

Impartiality: In regards to impartiality the BAC remains the arbitration commission economically independent of the government, thus ensuring a minimum of state intrusion or conflicts of interest. Parties moreover have the ability to challenge any arbitrators who appear biased.

Expertise: Arbitrators are selected on the basis of expertise and include some of the foremost experts in law, trade, economics, business practices as well as other fields. These arbitrators are well-trained in dispute resolution and are required to adhere to strict ethical standards as set by the BAC.

Finality: All BAC arbitrations are final binding on parties.

Ultimately the BAC is devoted not only to the efficient resolution of commercial disputes that will be acceptable to parties both in China and around the world but also to the development of arbitration in China.

The BAC is located in the China Merchants’ Tower in No.118 Jianguo Road Chaoyang District, Beijing 100022 China.
