Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy transferred from SAL to SMU

It has been restructured as a research centre under the university.

The Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy (SIDRA) is no longer a part of the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) Group and has been restructured as a research centre under the Singapore Management University (SMU), an announcement revealed.

The change reportedly took effect on 22 May 2019.

“Besides encouraging greater participation from the university’s faculty, the restructuring will also give SIDRA access to the university’s research funds,” SAL noted. SIDRA will continue to operate out of SMU’s School of Law building on Armenian Street.

SIDRA was incorporated as a company in January 2017, limited by guarantee of SAL and SAL subsidiary, the Singapore Mediation Centre. In the two years since, SIDRA reportedly become a changemaker in the deal-making and dispute resolution landscape, both in Singapore and in the Asia-Pacific region.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
