On 21 April 2023, Rajah & Tann’s Japan Desk organised a seminar on resolution of construction disputes in Singapore for Japanese, titled “Construction Disputes in Singapore: Typical Causes of Disputes, Adjudication, Arbitration, etc.”.
As the COVID-19 crisis ends and infrastructure projects resume, the number of conflicts relating to construction projects has increased. The alternative modes of dispute resolution including adjudication and arbitration have grown in importance as the legal recourses to resolve construction disputes. The speakers at the seminar discussed, among other things, the common causes of construction disputes involving Japanese companies, and adjudication and arbitration as the recourses available to resolve the disputes. The speakers discussed how they can use these forms of dispute resolution strategically to achieve the outcome that the parties desire.
Sim Chee Siong, Head of the Construction & Projects Practice, and Shuhei Otsuka, Head of the Japan Business Unit of Rajah & Tann Asia, were the speakers.
