Impartial and Neutral

Singapore, with its reputation for impartiality and integrity, world-class ADR institutions and outstanding dispute resolution professionals, is recognised as a preferred venue for ADR in Asia. According to the 2021 Queen Mary University of London and White & Case International Arbitration Survey, Singapore was tied for first place as the top seat of arbitration in the world, and the most preferred seat of arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region.

Singapore is also a signatory to the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation. Now known as the Singapore Convention on Mediation, the Convention will facilitate international trade and commerce by rendering mediation an additional dispute resolution option, alongside litigation and arbitration in settling cross-border disputes.
