IAS Advisory key sponsor for prestigious “Thailand ADR Week 2024”

IAS Advisory was delighted to support “Thailand Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Week 2024,” which took place in the Grand Ballroom of the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel from 18th-20th September. Distinguished guests included Police Colonel Mr Tawee Sodsong, Thailand’s Justice Minister, and Ms Pongsawat Neelayothin, Permanent Secretary of Thailand’s Ministry of Justice.

The theme of this year’s event was “Emerging Trends in ADR,” with sessions focused on charting the future of dispute resolution through international and regional developments. Attendees gained global perspectives and insights into regional and international ADR trends, best practices, and emerging legal frameworks. They heard expert analysis from renowned ADR practitioners, mediators and arbitrators, discussed the latest research, and learnt about cutting-edge approaches and upcoming initiatives and projects.

IAS Advisory co-founder Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul co-hosted the Day 2 session, “The ASEAN Way: Implications for Disputes along the OBOR (One Belt, One Road),” in which he discussed steps for conflict resolution and how to control potential damage.

He showed stakeholders how to be proactive in avoiding disputes arising from projects along the OBOR in ASEAN countries, and emphasised the need for clear, well-drafted contracts that align with local and international laws and incorporate pre-agreed dispute resolution mechanisms, such as mediation or arbitration clauses, which can help address conflicts before they escalate.

IAS Advisory’s dispute resolution, litigation & arbitration head Mr Chumphon Macharoen also joined, together with associates Mr Tataraj Indrasukhsri and Mr Tanadej Kanitthanon.
