Harry Elias Partnership LLP, Singapore Mediation Centre and SMU signed a MOA last Friday to formalise their collaboration in introducing a series of free public lectures on international commercial mediation. Associate Professor of Law Ian Macduff, Director of the Centre for Dispute Resolution at SMU, said that greater complexity and sophistication in the business sector have given rise to an increased demand for dispute resolution mechanisms and talents. In this respect, Singapore has gained strong footing as a preferred forum for dispute resolution in the region, owing to the sound legal infrastructure and well-developed institutions in mediation and arbitration.
