Join us for an interactive lunch and networking session where professionals in the insurance, re-insurance and dispute resolution industries discuss the latest trends in the landscape related to international insurance disputes, as well as the role that alternative dispute resolution processes and mechanisms, including institutional mediation, can play in such disputes.

We will also discuss the idea of whether and to what extent a neutral mediator can play a role in bridging impasses in the midst of an insurance M&A deal. Topics discussed include:


  • The impact of recent trends (particularly EFG and AI) and geopolitical uncertainties (war, sanctions, Red Sea blockades) on the disputes related to the general, D&O, professional indemnity and reinsurance markets; 
  • The extent to which ADR (particularly mediation and the Singapore Mediation Convention 2019) has facilitated the resolution of international insurance disputes; 
  • Common legal issues that may cause an impasse in deal or dispute negotiations; 
  • The extent or utility of mandatory mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism in M&A deals. 
  • Is there a role for neutral mediator in an M&A transaction / when there is an impasse in M&A negotiations?
