Rede Chambers members have experience of all the major institutional arbitration regimes including   ACICA, HKIAC, ICC, JCAA, ICDR/AAA, LCIA (India), and SIAC, and in ad hoc arbitrations including under the UNCITRAL Rules governed by the laws of England & Wales, Hong Kong, Russia, Australia, Indonesia, Mainland China, Japan, Malaysia, New York, Singapore and various other Asian, European and American jurisdictions and by international conventions.

Our arbitrators are familiar with all types of disputes relating to international arbitrations themselves, as well as related applications to and proceedings in court, such as in relation to the construction and validity of arbitration agreements, the conduct of arbitrations, the removal of arbitrators, the granting of interim remedies and the enforcement of awards and appeals.
