The Singapore Convention Enters into Force - Reflections, Practicalities & Opportunities

On 12 September 2020, the Singapore Convention on Mediation
enters into force. To discuss this landmark moment for Mediation,
we spoke to two leading ADR experts:


- Jan O'Neill (Professional Support Lawyer, Commercial Disputes
at Herbert Smith Freehills, London)and,
- James South (Mediator & Managing Director, CEDR)


In this podcast, we discuss the state of play of the Convention
to date looking at some of the notable signatories and absentees.
Additionally, we explore some of the important practical
considerations for lawyers and users of mediation that often goes
overlooked and how to manage these. Finally, we look at the
impact of the Convention on the global Dispute Resolution
landscape alongside new frontiers for mediation around the world.
