Arbitration is the main alternative dispute resolution method used in Malaysia. Disputes in the business and commercial sector are often solved using the services of an accredited arbitrator, provided that an agreement for using this method exists between the parties.

The Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) is the main venue where cases are solved through arbitration in Malaysia.

Foreign clients who are interested in this alternative dispute resolution method can request legal advice and counseling from one of our lawyers in Malaysia.
 

The Arbitration Act in Malaysia is the most important legislative document that governs arbitration proceedings. The Act of 2005 replaced the Act of 1952 and is now in line with the applicable international commercial arbitration laws.

Arbitration agreements allow the parties to use this method in order to solve commercial disputes. For such an agreement to be valid, it must be concluded in writing and signed by all parties. The agreement can also take the form of an arbitration clause in the main agreement signed between those parties.

The advantages of arbitration include more flexibility and sometimes fewer costs than in the case of court litigation. This method is also quicker in more cases, which is why is largely preferred in commercial and business disputes.
