[#PAW2024] Day 3 – Rajah & Tann Asia was delighted to be the first Asian-based law firm to participate in the Paris Arbitration Week and host a seminar on “The Rise of Arbitration in Asia”.   Asia has become one of the world’s most important arbitration regions. Singapore is ranked alongside London as the most-preferred arbitration seat. Hong Kong is third. Among arbitral institutions, Singapore International Arbitration Centre is second, and the HKIAC third, among most-popular arbitral institution. China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) is ranked fifth.   During the last decade, the arbitration in Asia seems to have caught up with the leading and well-established arbitration seats elsewhere.

Nowadays, developments in Asia tend to have broader implications on the global dispute resolution landscape.     With the increase in cross-continental transactions and investment, particularly between Asia and Europe, a deeper understanding of the legal framework, practical differences, and cultural issues can only enhance our roles as stakeholders in the industry.    The esteemed panel of experienced arbitration specialists included Kelvin Poon SC, Chuan Thye Tan SC, Dr. Vanina Sucharitkul, FCIArb and Tianyu MA from Rajah & Tann Asia, Mariel Dimsey from CMS, Michael Polkinghorne from White & Case LLP, Bernard Hanotiau from Hanotiau & van den Berg, and Christine Artero from The Arbitration Chambers.   Key topics discussed during the panel: 👉 Factors behind the growth of arbitral hubs in Asia and the success of their institutions 👉 Challenges of dispute resolution in cross-cultural contexts 👉 Outlook of international arbitration in the Asian region and the expected wider impact   #arbitration #disputeresolution #Asia #SoutheastAsia #RajahTannAsia #RTA #LawyersW

On 1 June 2024, the 2024 Administered Arbitration Rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre will come into effect. The 2024 Rules maintain HKIAC’s “light touch” approach to case administration, which respects party autonomy and has been a fundamental feature of HKIAC administered arbitrations. This means that parties who have adopted arbitration under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the arbitration commences can rest assured that the regime they have adopted continues to apply with no unforeseen drastic changes, while benefitting from enhancements and improvements. The key changes seek to enhance time and cost efficiency of arbitrations, protect their integrity, and promote diversity and greener arbitrations. Many of the changes incorporate HKIAC’s existing practices into the rules.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬, 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 In a remarkable display of progress, China's arbitration landscape is experiencing unprecedented growth. With 282 arbitration institutions now established nationwide, the country is rapidly becoming a powerhouse in alternative dispute resolution. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: • Over 5 million cases handled to date • Total case value exceeding ¥8 trillion or approximately $1.13 trillion • There was involvement of parties from more than 100 countries and regions This growth reflects China's commitment to building a credible and effective arbitration system. The country is not resting on its laurels, however. Efforts are underway to revise the arbitration law, aligning it with advanced international standards and enhancing provisions for foreign-related arbitration. In addition, the development of international commercial arbitration centers is also gaining momentum. In 2023 alone, eight pilot institutions handled 79,000 cases valued at ¥600 billion, showcasing China's increasing role in global dispute resolution. Looking ahead, China aims to further enhance the credibility of its arbitration system by: 1.) Improving operational mechanisms of arbitration institutions 2.) Strengthening oversight of both institutions and personnel As the global arbitration landscape evolves, these developments in China present both opportunities and challenges for international businesses and legal practitioners.
