S'pore rated highly as seat of international arbitration: study
Its stature set to grow even more with region becoming increasingly popular choice

This is according to a global report from international law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), which surveyed 53 legal practitioners - including lawyers working in law firms, as well as corporate counsel - from 34 jurisdictions.
The bulk (85 per cent) of the respondents said they were regular users of international arbitration, while more than two-thirds said their firm or organisation had practitioners who sat as arbitrators.
