Linklaters has challenged a Chinese client over unpaid legal fees in an arbitration case before the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC).
The magic circle firm filed a complaint before CIETAC in May 2015 against its client Shanxi Gas Industry Group over unpaid legal fees, which were incurred in connection with work carried out for the Chinese company’s proposed acquisition of Australian listed company Sino Gas & Energy Holdings in 2011.
