Directors Gerui Lim, Foo Yuet Min, Mahesh Rai, and Tan Yuan Kheng co-authored the first Singapore chapter in the Global Arbitration Review (GAR) Know-How: Investment Treaty Arbitration 2025.

The chapter provides detailed insights into investment treaty arbitration in Singapore. It covers key topics such as the country’s investment treaty programme, qualifying criteria for investors, and the substantive protections available. It also examines procedural rights under Singapore’s investment treaties, the practicalities of commencing and enforcing a claim against Singapore, relevant national legislation protecting inward and outward investments, as well as awards involving Singapore’s investment treaties.

It features Q&A-style chapters written by leading practitioners worldwide, and users can build bespoke reports to compare how key issues are addressed across different countries.
