About the Seminar:

Singapore is often the arbitration seat for the resolution of disputes between foreign investors and Indonesian parties. Many of these arbitrations in Singapore give rise to common issues during the course of the arbitral proceedings. These include matters such as: (a) how Indonesian law (which may be the governing law of the underlying contract) should be adduced before an arbitral tribunal that comprises non-Indonesians; (b) the interplay between Singapore law, Indonesian law and international arbitration principles in governing various aspects of the arbitration including: (i) substantive matters such as applicable remedies and, more generally, (ii) arbitral procedure; (c) issues pertaining to local court proceedings including seeking interim relief and enforcement of arbitral awards; and (d) costs issues. Chew Kei-Jin, who has acted as counsel in a number of arbitrations involving Indonesian parties will address these subjects of practical importance.”
