ADR Vietnam Chambers LLC was founded on 17th August 2018 to support the practice of full-time independent ADR Professionals, including Arbitrators and Mediators, Consultants, Lecturers and Researchers, Expert Witness and Tribunal Secretaries in Vietnam. This entity is neither a law firm, an arbitration, or mediation institution under Vietnamese law. ADR Vietnam Chambers LLC is a pioneering consultancy and management firm in Vietnam dedicated exclusively to supporting the practice of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Founded by Mr Nguyen Manh Dzung—one of Vietnam’s most distinguished dispute resolution lawyers—ADR Vietnam Chambers was established as a bold initiative to advance the use of ad hoc arbitration and mediation in Vietnam. After 25 years of a successful legal career specializing in shipping and dispute resolution, Mr. Dzung transitioned to full-time practice as an independent arbitrator and mediator. His vision was to create a space where seasoned professionals could dedicate themselves solely to dispute resolution while upholding the highest international standards of independence and neutrality.

In pursuit of this vision, our Members are neutrals who elect not to represent or provide advice to parties, are committed to the profession of advising parties, and are committed to arbitration and mediation as independents. Our Members are independent professionals who operate entirely separately from one another. Members are not under any obligation to share or refer work with one another and take all necessary steps to ensure that confidentiality is always maintained. Members are liable for their own professional practice under the highest international standards.

Internationally, our Founder, Mr. Nguyen Manh Dzung, has played a vital role in building this global reputation. In 2009, he became the first Vietnamese lawyer admitted to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb). He later served two terms on the ICC International Court of Arbitration, one of the most prestigious global dispute resolution bodies. In 2024, he was appointed as the only Vietnamese arbitrator on the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) panel, joining a select group of just 158 world-class specialists in maritime dispute resolution. His appointments extend to other notable institutions, including Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (HKIAC), Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (KCAB International), Shanghai Arbitration Commission (SHAC), Hainan International Arbitration Court (HIAC), eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre (eBRAM), Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC), Japan International Mediation Center (JIMC Kyoto), Mainland -Hong Kong Joint Mediation Center (MHJMC) and Vietnam Mediation Center (VMC). Through these roles, he has helped bring Vietnamese legal perspectives into broader regional and international legal dialogues.

Our Members’ area of practice mainly covers four sectors, including international trade arbitration, corporate & investment arbitration, construction & infrastructure arbitration and maritime arbitration, which includes charterparties, collisions, shipbuilding & repair, ship sale and purchase, cargo loss and damage, marine insurance and commodities (other than coal and grain). The Members of ADR Vietnam Chambers are frequently appointed in high-value and complex disputes administered by prominent institutions such as ICC, SIAC, KCAB and VIAC. Our professionals are also widely recognized as thought leaders in the field of arbitration and mediation. Our members spoke at leading international events such as the ICC Annual Conference, London International Disputes Week (LIDW), and the VIAC Symposium. Their expertise has earned them repeated recognition in international directories such as Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal), Benchmark Litigation Asia Pacific, Asia Business Law Journal (A-List), and Asialaw. In our continued effort to promote arbitration and mediation within Vietnam, ADR Vietnam Chambers partnered with the Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC) in 2024 to co-organize the VAS Crossover 2024 online event series. Under the theme “Elevating International Arbitration in Vietnam: From Basic Principles to Professional Skills,” the series attracted nearly 1,200 participants, including young practitioners, legal professionals, and business representatives across Vietnam and beyond.

ADR Vietnam Chambers LLC also aspires to be a platform for building the next generation of Vietnamese dispute resolution professionals. Mr. Nguyen Manh Dzung’s long-term vision is to encourage experienced Vietnamese legal practitioners to transition into independent arbitrator and mediator roles. By doing so, ADR Vietnam Chambers aims to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of Vietnam’s legal profession and its integration into the global ADR community.

The London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) is an association of practising arbitrators and presently comprises 33 full time arbitrating members and 26 aspiring full members. It also has a supporting membership of approximately 800 worldwide.

Amongst this arbitrating membership, the LMAA offers an unrivalled expertise across the breadth of the maritime sector from seagoing experience (deck and engine), through shipbroking, derivatives and hedging, shipbuilding and sale and purchase, ship management, commodities and cargo operations experience to maritime litigation and judicial experience of maritime and other commercial disputes, including oil and gas andrenewables.

The Association promotes practical procedures for resolution of disputes by arbitration and has a voice in major international rule making bodies.

The LMAA has produced a series of procedural rules to assist its users in relation to the running of arbitrations. It has a Small Claims Procedure which is designed for the determination of small claims up to a recommended limit of US$100,000, and Intermediate Claims Procedure which is designed for the determination of claims between US$100,000 and US$400,000 and the LMAA Terms which cater for all larger and more complex disputes. Each year approximately 1,700 cases are conducted and over 520 awards published on LMAA Terms and Procedures.

Although a large majority of cases are dealt with on documents alone, the LMAA was the first leading maritime arbitration association to develop rules and procedures for remote,virtual or hybrid arbitration. As a result of this a physical presence in London may not be necessary for those cases where a hearing is considered necessary.

The LMAA also offers early neutral evaluation (ENE) services.

The LMAA is not an arbitral institution and does not administer or become involved in individual arbitrations conducted on its Terms and Procedures, save for the making of default appointments (where needed and where the procedural rules allow) and offering award certification services to support enforcement actions. There is therefore no additional layer of administrative costs in LMAA arbitrations.

In all aspects of its functions, the LMAA is assisted by its supporting members. The LMAA has two committees of supporting members, the Supporting Members Liaison Committee in Europe and the Supporting Members Liaison Committee (Asia Pacific) in Asia. Both committees are made up of representatives of maritime industry sectors within the supporting membership and representatives of the LMAA Committee. These committees meet regularly to consider matters of interest to supporting members and users and to ensure that such matters are brought to the attention of the LMAA Committee. By this means, the LMAA is able to receive first hand feedback from its members and the supporting members can offer input on developments in LMAA Arbitration practice.

Supporting members receive information about the LMAA’s activities through its website, its newsletter and other social media platforms. lmaa lomdon
