A Masterclass in
International Conflict Resolution:
Minimising Loss and Maximising Gain When Businesses Run into Trouble
Thursday, 25 May 2017 | 5.30pm to 9.00pm | SMU Administration Building
In a world where business stretches across borders, overcoming and resolving disputes may be complicated and challenging. As GE’s Vice President Mr Brad Berenson puts it, “winning cases is not the same as winning in business”. Fortunately, more dispute resolution options than ever are now on offer, disrupting the traditional approach of bringing disputes to local courts for resolution. Singapore, in particular, is often viewed as a trusted neutral forum for transnational dispute resolution, with institutions such as the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”), Singapore International Mediation Centre (“SIMC”) and the Singapore International Commercial Court (“SICC”) leading the way in providing a wide spectrum of choice for businesses.
How can business leaders navigate these choices and achieve resolution in an efficient and effective manner?
Eunice’s talk explores the various international dispute resolution options, their advantages and risks, and suggests possible dispute resolution strategies. There will then be a panel discussion featuring representatives from the SIAC, SIMC, SICC, as well as the Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy to share practical experiences and tips as well as discuss recent trends and challenges.

ASSOCIATION OF DUTCH BUSINESS PEOPLE
The Association of Dutch Business people (ADB) counts approximately 460 members (all individuals rather than companies). We organize regular networking events, ranging from lectures and company visits to more social events.
The ADB has strong ties with various government institutions and with other business associations and chambers of commerce in Singapore. In addition the ADB maintains close links with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Singapore. Through this network, the ADB offers a true platform for the Dutch business community and has become a fundamental part of the larger Singapore business community.
The ADB constitutes a platform for Dutch businessmen to share their thoughts and experiences. ADB members represent all layers of Dutch business activities in Singapore: from director to entrepreneur, from researcher to trainee, from legal advisor to sales manager. Thus the ADB provides an easy and friendly entrance to the Singapore business community. All share a common interest in the business environment of Singapore and its surrounding countries.
