Arbitration

There are several avenues available to aggrieved parties to settle a dispute. One does not necessarily have to resort to court proceedings. Arbitration is a popular alternative to resolve disputes outside the courts. 

Our team is made up of counsel and qualified arbitrators empanelled with the Asian International Arbitration Centre. With such a formidable team, we have been able to serve clients through arbitrations of various complexities, particularly in commercial and construction arbitrations. 

We are also experienced in arbitration related Court proceedings, representing our clients in applications for security for costs, discovery of documents and enforcement of arbitral awards.
