RECOGNITION

Fabian Hoffmann wins the prize for the best award on the SIArb Fellowship Assessment Course 2026

5 November 2026
Fabian Hoffmann has been awarded the prize for the best award on the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators’ Fellowship Assessment Course 2026. The prize was announced at the Institute’s Annual Dinner in Singapore on 5 November 2026, which followed its Commercial Arbitration Symposium at the Old Parliament Chamber.
The Fellowship Assessment Course is the Institute’s route to Fellowship. It covers the conduct of an arbitration from the tribunal’s side, from appointment and jurisdiction through case management and the evidentiary hearing, and it ends with an examination in which each candidate writes a complete, reasoned arbitral award deciding a set dispute.
The Institute has since admitted him as a Fellow.
Fabian acts as counsel in international arbitration, and the discipline the course examines is the one he brings to that work: a case is put to a tribunal so that every issue, and every head of relief including interest and costs, has an answer the award can give.
