We have acted for a wide spectrum of clients in arbitration matters that include multinational corporations, foreign companies and high net-worth individuals. Our experience covers various areas and sectors such as telecommunications, energy, real estate and joint ventures.
Drafting Of Arbitration Agreements
Our Arbitration team has advised on and drafted arbitration agreements that are tailored to suit the circumstances of the agreement between the parties. These include building in mediation clauses as an avenue for resolution before formal arbitration proceedings are commenced.
Local Arbitration
We have represented clients where the dispute and the parties are in Singapore and the forum of dispute resolution that was chosen was arbitration.
