Dispute resolution
Our focus is on helping you to achieve your business objectives and to gain competitive advantage. We provide effective solutions to your complex and high profile commercial disputes. We can do this because we operate at the cutting edge of practice, offering creative, innovative advice.
Our dispute resolution practice encompasses arbitration (both domestic and international) and litigation. Our lawyers represent clients in a broad range of cross-border as well as local corporate and commercial disputes.
We have acted in arbitrations under prominent institutional rules (including ICC and SIAC rules). We have successfully conducted trial and appellate litigation at all levels of the Singapore courts, as well as in hearings before various specialised tribunals. Our key areas of expertise include corporate and commercial, minority oppression and shareholder, construction, property and property-related and energy disputes, and corporate insolvency and restructuring.
Our client representation focuses on multinational corporations as well as private and public local companies – many of which are recognised leaders of their respective industries. In addition, we represent government agencies and high-net-worth individuals.
