As the world’s economic order and geopolitical dynamics fluctuate, businesses are increasingly compelled to change the way they operate and manage risks. Amid such disruptions and uncertainties, lawyers must also re-evaluate the way they work with businesses from dispute prevention and resolution standpoint. Join us as we explore ways for businesses and law stakeholders in Asia to adjust and ensure business continuity in times of current challenges.

This event is co-organised by the ICC Singapore Arbitration Group and ICC Dispute Resolution Services, and is held as part of the Singapore Convention Week 2025.
