Today, Asia is home to several prominent arbitral centres. With a growing number of parties worldwide opting for international arbitration, it has become increasingly important for arbitral centres to continually upgrade and improve their offerings in order to remain competitive and capture opportunities in alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
In Singapore, Maxwell Chambers announced its new Smart Maxwell initiative backed by the Ministry of Law. Maxwell Chambers will be equipped with smart technology by the end of the year, making it the world’s first smart hearing facility and placing Singapore at the forefront of the international ADR sector.
Smart Maxwell
Maxwell Chambers was officially established as an arbitration centre in 2010. It is the world’s first integrated dispute resolution hub, housing top international dispute resolution institutions as well as hearing rooms within the premises, for the convenience of visiting legal practitioners. Smart Maxwell entails the upgrading of our existing facilities, software and infrastructure, as well as the introduction of new features, to better serve the needs of our guests.
