The Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) is a leading institution in Asia for resolving international commercial disputes. Established in 2015, it offers a well-designed court-based mechanism for litigants to have their cases adjudicated by a panel of experienced judges from both Singapore and international jurisdictions. Singapore is renowned for its efficient, competent, and honest judiciary, making it an attractive destination for dispute resolution.

The SICC complements Singapore's status as an arbitration hub by providing an alternative for parties seeking to avoid common issues in international arbitration, such as delay, rising costs, and lack of consistency in decisions. With its strategic geographical location, well-developed legal system, and respected legal infrastructure, Singapore is well-positioned to handle cross-border disputes in the growing Asian market. The SICC serves as a companion rather than a competitor to arbitration, expanding Singapore's share in the global legal services sector without compromising the success of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC).

For businesses involved in transnational trade and investment, the SICC offers a valuable option among viable alternatives for resolving commercial disputes. Find out more about the SICC's rules, procedures, and services on their informative website
