2014 and 2015 is widely regarded as pivotal in anchoring Singapore as the forum of choice for dispute resolution for international businesses in Asia. In November 2014, the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC) and the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI) were launch, widely regarded as a milestone in the alternative dispute resolution circuit. In tandem with this development, the establishment of the Singapore International Commercial Court has attracted a lot of interest in the international litigation space. The Institute was honoured to have Mr George Lim, SC and its President, Mr Chan Leng Sun, SC preside over this evening seminar to shed light on the thinking and the potential opportunities these game-changing initiatives present to the way international businesses resolve their disputes in Asia. This seminar was chaired by the Institute’s Honorary Secretary, Mr Naresh Mahtani who led a lively discourse touching on various issues and concerns that members and guests may have in response to these initiatives.
