SINGAPORE - More legal practitioners in Asia now prefer to resolve disputes in the Republic, according to survey results that suggest Singapore's status as a dispute resolution hub has strengthened over the past few years.
Of the respondents, about half were based in Singapore, while the rest were in jurisdictions including India, Indonesia and the Philippines. However, familiarity with the Singapore International Mediation Centre dipped slightly, from 36 per cent in 2015 to 34 per cent this year.
