Alternative Dispute Resolution

We recommend mediation or private negotiations where we are confident that it serves your strategic and commercial interests.
Arbitration
Arbitration is the dispute resolution of choice in many commercial agreements, particularly for cross-border transactions and in sectors such as construction, infrastructure and energy. Yuen Law acts in international and Singapore-seated arbitrations under leading institutions, including UNCITRAL, ICC and SIAC. We advise clients across the full arbitral lifecycle from drafting dispute resolution clauses, managing procedural strategy, to recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards.
