Singapore International Arbitration Centre Opens Office in New York

On December 3, 2020, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) opened its first office outside of Asia in New York. SIAC will be the first Asia-based arbitral institution to open its office in New York, taking the leap to become a global institution and joining other well-regarded institutions in the Americas such as the International Chamber of Commerce and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution. In 2020, despite the global pandemic, there have been more than 1,000 cases filed with SIAC, marking a new record for the institution since its establishment in 1991.
