Arb-Med-Arb: A Smarter Way to Resolve Cross-Border Disputes
As cross-border commercial activity grows, so too does the complexity of resolving disputes that arise from it. While arbitration remains a popular and effective route, many businesses are now looking for more collaborative ways to resolve issues — without compromising enforceability or finality.
That’s where Singapore’s Arb-Med-Arb (AMA) Protocol comes in. By integrating mediation into the arbitration process, AMA offers parties a real opportunity to resolve disputes amicably and preserve commercial relationships, all within a structured legal framework. With institutions like SIAC and SIMC working in tandem, Singapore has become a global leader in supporting this hybrid approach.
We’ve written a short piece breaking down how the AMA Protocol works, and why it may be worth considering for your contracts or dispute resolution strategy. You can read the full article attached.
