Breakfast Talk: Navigating International Arbitration and Singapore’s SIAC Advantage

Navigating International Arbitration – Unlocking Practical Insights for Business Leaders

Mahanakorn Partners Group (MPG) is pleased to invite you to an exclusive breakfast talk designed for senior executives, business owners, and decision-makers seeking to strengthen their understanding of international arbitration and its relevance to cross-border business operations.

This session offers a practical, business-focused introduction to international arbitration—with a spotlight on the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and its role as Asia’s premier forum for resolving complex commercial disputes.

What to Expect

This is not a technical seminar for legal professionals. Instead, it’s a strategic conversation for arbitration end-users—leaders who are actively shaping contracts, joint ventures, and commercial relationships. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge needed to confidently include Singapore as the seat and SIAC as the forum for arbitration in your contracts moving forward.

Key Topics Include:  

✓   Understanding International Arbitration: How it differs from litigation in Thai courts and from domestic arbitration.

✓   Managing Cross-Border Disputes: Why arbitration is the preferred method for international business.

✓   Introduction to SIAC: What makes Singapore a leading arbitration hub in Asia.

✓   SIAC Rule Updates: What’s new and how these changes may affect Thai businesses.

✓   Strategic Advantages of SIAC: Why top companies choose SIAC for their dispute resolution needs.

✓   Practical Implications for Your Business: How MPG helps clients draft dispute resolution clauses and navigate arbitration efficiently—whether proactively or when disputes arise.

The Breakfast Talk will begin at 9:00am, offering an impactful exploration of the evolving landscape of international arbitration. Designed for business leaders and decision-makers, the session will foster an open, interactive dialogue with experts.
