ICC Court sets up a case management office and team in Singapore

THE International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Court) is setting up a case management office and team in Singapore.

This will make Singapore a seat and venue for arbitration in Asia through advancing thought leadership, developing manpower talent and arbitration services, and undertaking joint marketing.

Both Singapore's Ministry of Law (MinLaw) and ICC Court announced the collaboration at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Wednesday.

Senior Minister of State for Law Indranee Rajah said: "The ICC Court case management office will augment Singapore's offerings and raise our hub status up one notch. It is a vote of confidence in Singapore as a base for major players to access and capture opportunities, and to be part of Asia's growth story."
