ArbiHonor's Singapore office has taken on materially more mandates than in the equivalent period last year, and Southeast Asia has grown further as a share of new commitments.
Growth is concentrated in construction and energy project disputes, most seated at SIAC. The trend tracks the familiar timing of regional infrastructure work: the two-to-four years after completion is the window in which payment and delay claims cluster.
We also see more Chinese contractors considering dispute-funding arrangements at project inception rather than waiting for a dispute to crystallise, reflecting a more considered use of these instruments.
