Swiss TEF Rules in Focus: A New Era for Private Wealth Disputes

The Singapore Convention Week (SC Week) has been a signature event in Singapore since 2019, focusing on dispute resolution, arbitration, mediation and litigation. It serves as a key platform for thought leaders, experts, practitioners and policy makers, to discuss emerging trends, address common issues, deliberate on new innovations, and drive change.

This year’s SC Week will be held from 25 August to 29 August 2025. Organised by the Singapore Ministry of Law (MinLaw) in partnership with various organisations, the week will feature a rich and exciting line-up of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, and networking events

As cross-border trust and estate disputes become more frequent, arbitration is taking on a greater role in resolving these matters. The recently launched Swiss TEF Rules provide a specialized framework for addressing the complexities of private wealth disputes. The panel would offer participants an early look into these new rules and their practical implications for practitioners and families alike. This event will take place at the offices of WongPartnership from 16:30 – 21:30 featuring a stellar lineup of speakers.

Speakers include:

– Benjamin Gottlieb, Partner at Schellenberg Wittmer
– David Koay, Group CEO at British Malayan Holdings Limited
