Rajah & Tann Singapore has contributed to the Global Arbitration Review’s Asia-Pacific Arbitration Review 2021 (“Review“). The Review captures and interprets the most substantial recent international arbitration events from the past year across various jurisdictions, with footnotes and relevant statistics. The articles also provide valuable background on the essentials of a particular country as a seat.
This edition covers Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. It also has overviews of construction and infrastructure disputes in the region (and how to avoid them), investment treaty arbitration (particularly its relevance to the Belt and Road Initiative), the impact of COVID-19 on the art of damages calculation, and third-party funding.
Andre Yeap S.C. and Kelvin Poon from the International Arbitration Practice contributed an article on The Rise of Arbitration in the Asia-Pacific, while Andre and Avinash Pradhan, also from the International Arbitration Practice, contributed the Country Chapter on Malaysia.
