On the afternoon of June 25, 2025, a Special Salon on "Litigation Procedures and Evidence Rules between Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao" was hosted by the Foreign, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Legal Affairs Committee of the Foshan Lawyers Association and held in the conference room of the Foshan Lawyers Association. The event focused on the applicable rules and evidence methods of civil and commercial litigation systems in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, aiming to provide institutional references and practical insights for Bay Area lawyers in collaboration and coordination within multi-jurisdictional cases.
The salon specially invited three professional representatives from Hu Xiuhan Law Firm in Macao, Gilt Chambers in Hong Kong, and Guangdong Chenggong Law Firm to deliver keynote presentations, focusing on institutional differences, legal culture, and integration of litigation practices, aiming to facilitate in-depth dialogue and collaboration for the deepening integration of legal jurisdictions in the Bay Area.
Yang Xin, Equity Partner of Guangdong Chenggong Law Firm and Registered Foreign Lawyer with the Hong Kong Law Society, was invited to attend and served as one of the keynote speakers. He delivered a specialized presentation on institutional differences and cross-border litigation practices, engaging in in-depth exchanges with legal professionals from Macao, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.
Chen Zhikun, Vice President of the Foshan Lawyers Association, attended the event and delivered a speech. He welcomed the gathering of lawyers from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao for high-quality exchanges and discussions, and expressed anticipation that the Foshan Lawyers Association would continue to deepen collaboration with law firms in Hong Kong, Macao, and the Greater Bay Area in the future, build more practical platforms, and advance consensus-building and professional integration between different legal jurisdictions.

Practical response: Litigation connection and operational challenges under institutional differences
At this salon, Lawyer Yang Xin delivered a presentation titled "A Comparative Analysis of Key Features in Civil Litigation Procedures between Mainland China and Hong Kong". He systematically examined critical differences in civil litigation procedures between the two jurisdictions, covering institutional frameworks, evidence mechanisms, judgment enforcement, and practical collaboration. Additionally, he delved into the logical architectures and compatibility considerations underlying these legal systems, offering insights into how institutional structures shape procedural operations and cross-border judicial coordination.
As a professional lawyer deeply involved in multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution and institutional alignment initiatives, he emphasized during his speech:
>“跨法域法律服务的关键，不在于形式进入，而在于理解结构、适配规则、组织资源，最终实现法律效果的最大化。”
他认为，随着湾区法治协同的不断深化，律师不仅要具备多法域的制度理解力，还应具备跨团队、跨地域组织执行能力，真正实现从“能参与”到“能解决”的专业跃迁。
