The Digital World in Context_Workshop in Hong Kong

The development of AI, blockchain technology, digital marketing, e-commerce, virtual reality, cloud computing, digital payments, and other innovations requires a careful examination of legal doctrines and principles to understand how traditional contracts and transactions must adapt to the digital world. “The Digital World in Context” is the inaugural activity of the Asia-Pacific Contracts Law Project, a collaboration among scholars studying contract law issues in the Asia-Pacific region. The project is chaired by Professor Ying Khai Liew from Melbourne University Law School and Professor Lusina Ho from the University of Hong Kong. The aim of this research initiative is to assess how contract law in various Asia-Pacific countries is addressing the challenges posed by the digital transformation.

On January 9-10, 2025, the Symposium on “Asia-Pacific Contract Law – The Digital World in Context” was held at the University of Hong Kong. Scholars from across the Asia-Pacific region, involved in the project’s research, participated in the symposium. As part of this initiative, Mr. Nguyen Hung Quang, Managing Partner of NHQuang&Associates, presented a research on “𝑬-𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝒆-𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑽𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒏𝒂𝒎”. This study was conducted by Mr. Quang and Ms. Nguyen Thuy Duong, Senior Associate of NHQuang&Associates.
