Dentons Rodyk Dialogue Series
The Dentons Rodyk Dialogue is a partnership between Dentons Rodyk and the Singapore Management University (SMU) to create a major forum for thought leaders to share ideas and views affecting Asia’s legal, business, cultural and economic landscape. Ultimately, it is hoped that these conversations influence attitudes and policies resulting in a better world for all. The Dentons Rodyk Dialogue aims to be the essential event for legal, business and academic leaders to converge in order to discuss pressing issues and world trends. The Dialogue is an event organised under the auspices of the Centre for Commercial Law in Asia at the SMU Yong Pung How School of Law.
