Description
Malaysians are active users of international arbitration and have consistently ranked among the top 10 foreign users of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”).
In the 2018 Queen Mary University of London and White & Case International Arbitration Survey, Singapore was ranked the third-most popular seat in the world, and SIAC ranked third out of the world’s top five arbitral institutions.
In 2017, the international community entrusted SIAC with a record 452 new case filings, and SIAC saw a broad spectrum of users from six continents encompassing 58 jurisdictions.
Increased cross-border commercial activity across Asia and the Belt and Road Initiative, will result in a further increase in
international disputes in Asia.
Join us for an exciting seminar where representatives from SIAC and Messrs Rahmat Lim & Partners will share their insights on recent developments in international arbitration, and discuss the following topics:
- Laws governing arbitration agreements

- Courts in aid of foreign arbitration
- Practical tips on drafting arbitration agreements and model
clauses
- Singapore’s international arbitration framework
- Overview of SIAC and recent developments

emergency arbitration, expedited procedure, early dismissal,
consolidation and joinder, SIAC-SIMC Arb-Med-Arb Protocol
