AIAC Arbitration
We have experience conducting arbitrations under the AIAC Arbitration Rules and Fast Track Arbitration Rules, and are familiar with AIAC practice and procedural requirements.
Construction arbitration in Malaysia is governed by the Arbitration Act 2005, which is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law. Malaysian courts generally uphold arbitration agreements and enforce arbitral awards with limited grounds for challenge.
