Managing Risks: Trials of a GC with the SIMC

The Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC) is pleased to be hosting a lunch time webinar for members of the Association of Corporate Counsel. This session will present in-house counsel and C-suite level executives the opportunity to learn about the challenges and potential pitfalls of managing business risk, including dispute resolution and the benefits of mediation.

The host, SIMC’s CEO Mr Chuan Wee Meng, will be sharing insights on his experience in Greater China when he was the General Counsel of IBM Asia Pacific, and as a user of mediation.

Understanding the scope of dispute resolution options available, and knowing when/how to take advantage of the appropriate tool is key for international businesses to effectively navigate the complexities of cross-border commercial transactions and partnerships.

Drawing on SIMC’s vision, and his own experience as a mediator, Wee Meng will also make the case for the relevance of institutional mediation as a cost- and time-efficient option for businesses to simultaneously advance their own interests and preserve amity in their relationships.
