Meditation Training

Our HW Yip recently assisted the Bar, conducting training on Mediation at the Judicial & Legal Training Institute of Malaysia (ILKAP) at Bangi.

Mediation is a form of Dispute Resolution and HW Yip is a qualified Mediator of the Malaysian Bar's Malaysian Mediation Centre (MMC) and Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC). Mediation is known to be quick and cost-effective to help disputing parties to resolve issues. It is usually a pre-trial process and is popular in Australia, Singapore & New Zealand. 

Dispute Resolution in Sports @THAC

Our Richard Wee was recently invited to speak at the Thai Arbitration Centre (THAC) at their inaugural Sports Law Seminar on Dispute resolutions in Sports. About 39 Delegates signed up to attend and the bi-lingual Seminar was well received. 

Mr Vira Kommee, an experience Attorney based in Bangkok, and advisor to the Thai Football Association, was a fellow speaker at the Seminar. 

We look forward to a long relationship with THAC as we assist THAC to develop Sports Dispute Resolution.
