The Asian Mediation Association (“AMA”) came into being in Singapore on 17 August 2007 when five leading mediation centres in Asia signed a Memorandum of Understanding.  The five founding members of the AMA share the common aim of promoting and facilitating the use of mediation to amicably settle business and commercial disputes.

Together, AMA members provide the infrastructure for conflict management and dispute resolution for disputes in Asia, or with businesses in Asia. This is unique in that it represents an unprecedented grouping of mediation centres in Asia, combining the resources of a diverse blend of Asian cultures.  AMA members provide access to a wide range of dispute resolution and conflict management services across several jurisdictions.
