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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
