Few events bring together as diverse a gathering of top legal minds as the annual Singapore Convention Week (SC Week).
Held islandwide in Singapore from Aug 25 to 29, this year's edition was attended by luminaries in the corporate and legal world to discuss the latest developments in international dispute resolution.
SC Week 2025 presented an expanded offering, featuring more than 60 partner events and drawing thousands of participants from over 70 jurisdictions.
The event brought together lawyers, in-house counsels, arbitrators, mediators, judges, policy makers and other legal professionals who represent and advise international corporations navigating new challenges in cross-border transactions and disputes.
At the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) Symposium on Aug 26 – one of the signature events of SC Week – Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs, launched the new Restructuring and Insolvency Arbitration (RIA) Protocol, the first of its kind for an international arbitration institution.
It updates existing SIAC Arbitration Rules to the time-sensitive needs of parties involved in restructuring and insolvency proceedings.
