The Singapore Convention on Mediation now counts nearly 60 signatories, 13 of which are full parties, including Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Nigeria, Ecuador, Honduras and Uruguay. While the world awaits the ratification of the Convention by China, India, South Korea and the US which have already signed, this 90-minute webinar takes a look at the creative uses of mediation, particularly in cross-border IP disputes, and the global trend towards mixed-mode approaches in alternative dispute resolution for global enforcement.
Find out more about the various options available in Asia combining Mediation-Arbitration or Arbitration-Mediation-Arbitration, and when to use them. Additionally, learn about the bespoke services available, such as online co-mediation and other novel cross-institutional arrangements with partners in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Turkiye and Vietnam, for the benefit of users. Finally, best practices and dispute management tips to keep the door open for mediation, should a dispute arise.
