DE DAMNIS: HONG KONG 2026
Save the Date: Tuesday, 20 October 2026 | Hong Kong
Following the inaugural De Damnis: Lisbon in 2023, DELOS is delighted to bring this landmark damages event to Hong Kong this October for its second edition.
De Damnis 2026: Hong Kong will take place in the afternoon of Tuesday 20 October at the China Club. For those who have registered for the Kaplan Lecture, you will then be able to stay on through networking drinks and enjoy the lecture in the evening.
Building on the foundation of the Delos Damages MOOC, our self-paced training initiative, designed for counsel and arbitrators to build a practitioner-understanding of quantum, valuation, and financial analysis in international arbitration, De Damnis will bridge cutting-edge theory with real-world dispute practice.
The programme for the event is as follows:
3.20pm Registration
3.50-4.00pm Welcome & Introductions [10mn]
by Dianna Shao (Clifford Chance), James Nicholson (FTI), and Hafez Virjee (Delos Dispute Resolution)
4.00-4.50pm De Damnis Panel [50mn] Topic: Valuing Minority Shareholdings in Disputes: When Should Discounts Apply?
- Panellists: Matthew Hodgson (Linklaters), Paula Kay (Harneys), Arthur Ma (DaHui Lawyers)
- Moderator: Dianna Shao (Clifford Chance)
4.50-5.50pm De Damnis Debate [60mn] Motion: “This House believes that, in a DCF, risk should be accounted for in the cash flows rather than the discount rate“
