What is a Binding Arbitration Agreement?

The Binding Arbitration Agreement is essential for parties seeking to establish a clear, efficient, and confidential dispute resolution mechanism in Singapore. It provides a framework for resolving commercial disputes outside the court system, offering flexibility, confidentiality, and enforceability of awards across jurisdictions. Singapore's reputation as a leading arbitration hub, supported by its comprehensive legal framework and the world-renowned SIAC, makes it an ideal jurisdiction for such agreements. This document is particularly valuable for international commercial relationships where parties prefer arbitration's neutrality and efficiency over traditional litigation.

What sections should be included in a Binding Arbitration Agreement?

1. Parties: Identification and details of the contracting parties

2. Background: Context and purpose of the arbitration agreement

5. Arbitration Procedure: Process for initiating and conducting arbitration

6. Governing Law: Specification of Singapore law as governing law

2. Emergency Arbitrator Provisions: Procedures for urgent interim relief - recommended for high-value commercial contracts

3. Confidentiality: Enhanced confidentiality obligations beyond standard provisions - recommended for sensitive commercial matters

4. Costs Allocation: Specific provisions on how arbitration costs will be allocated - use when default SIAC rules on costs are not preferred

What schedules should be included in a Binding Arbitration Agreement?
