The SIDRA Survey aims to learn more about how and why businesses and lawyers make decisions about resolving cross-border commercial disputes.

SIDRA Survey 2021 The Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy (SIDRA) has launched the 2nd edition of its SIDRA International Dispute Resolution Survey. We welcome responses from participants who have experience in international commercial disputes and dispute resolution experience, including corporate executives, in-house counsel, lawyers and legal advisers.
The 2021 Survey will be open until 16 May 2021 and can be accessed at https://smusg.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJRTOTOlwNtYf5P. The survey should take around 30 – 60 minutes to complete.
By clicking on the link, you will first be directed to a participant information sheet and consent form, before starting the survey. Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. You can withdraw from the study at any time.
We value your input, which will help us map the state of current international dispute resolution practice. Please feel free to forward this survey to any other potentially interested participants. We intend to publish the findings in late 2021.
