About this event

A good corporate governance framework should include redress to deal with disputes in a timely, cost-effective manner. Mediation lends itself well to this purpose as a management tool and additionally demonstrates a strategic commitment to ESG that extends beyond one's products and services.


In this by-invitation luncheon event, join over 40 leading multinational corporations and industry associations as they collectively declare their support for mediation. Hear speakers share their dispute avoidance strategies and how they manage their disputes, from an in-house perspective. They will also discuss what they expect from their external counsel and how, at times, disputes may benefit from new opportunities and creative deal-making to address underlying commercial interests.


We are honoured to have Ms. Indranee Rajah, Second Minister for Finance and National Development as our Guest-of-Honour at this high-level gathering of in-house counsel, legal practitioners and business leaders from Singapore and abroad.
