Cost-Effective Alternative Dispute Resolution in Singapore

Mediation & Negotiation

Most clients recognise the financial and human costs of protracted litigation, and if there are other ways we can get a satisfactory result, we would always explore them. Yuen Law has extensive experience in mediation and negotiation. We conduct cost-benefit-risk analyses of going for mediation and negotiation vis-a-vis litigation, and would only choose mediation or negotiation if we’re sure it’s most advantageous for you to do so.

Arbitration

Many local and cross-border commercial contracts today specify arbitration as the primary mechanism for dispute resolution, especially in the construction industries. Yuen Law has helped many clients in complex international arbitrations, as well as in local arbitral tribunals at all levels. We are familiar with the UNCITRAL, ICC and SIAC arbitration rules. Our litigation team of lawyers guide clients through all phases of the arbitration process, from crafting dispute resolution clauses to local and overseas enforcement of arbitral awards.
