Arbitration has become an increasingly popular mechanism often used by companies in resolving disputes arising out of cross-border commercial transactions due to its various benefits including neutrality, increased autonomy to parties, and the binding and enforceable effect of an arbitral award.
Establishing its reputation as a neutral, independent and transparent country for dispute resolution, Singapore in 2021 had earned its place as the top seat for arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region and was jointly ranked with London as the most popular seat in the world. Additionally, Singapore has taken the necessary and essential steps to ensure practical support for international arbitrations conducted locally by implementing international conventions such as the New York Convention and adopting the UNICTRAL Model Law.
