Singapore and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) are a forum of choice for parties from diverse legal systems and cultures to resolve their cross-border disputes. In the last few years, SIAC has handled a growing international caseload of increasingly complex, high value claims involving parties from over 55 jurisdictions, including Vietnamese parties. Against a backdrop of increased inbound and outbound investment flows in the South East Asia (SEA) region, this seminar will provide an excellent platform for corporations involved in economic activities in SEA to identify risk management strategies and effective dispute resolution mechanisms for investments and collaborations in Vietnam.
The business luncheon will provide a comprehensive overview of the SIAC Arbitration Rules (6th Edition, 1 August 2016) and illustrate examples of how the Rules have been implemented in practice to efficiently resolve commercial disputes. Panelists will share their insights and practical tips on doing business in Vietnam.
The luncheon will also present an overview of one of the key concerns with respect to arbitration in Vietnam - the recognition of foreign arbitral awards and their enforcement in Vietnam, including grounds for recognition or refusal, challenges and legal issues that may arise, and how the process operates in practice.
