In today’s business environment, commercial agreements are often drafted to require binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. This is in line with the perceived advantages of arbitration, as a mode of dispute resolution, over litigation. This is especially so in light of the effective and widely accepted scheme for the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards established by the New York Convention 1958 (adopted by over 130 countries to-date).

As a result, arbitrations are increasingly the choice of dispute resolution preferred by clients.
