Commercial Disputes

We are experienced in litigating complex commercial disputes at all levels of the Singapore courts and before domestic and international arbitral tribunals. The matters we handle often have multi-jurisdictional facets and we regularly receive instructions from international law firms to act as litigation counsel in Singapore.

We have recently advised and acted for:

• State agencies of the Mongolian Government in multi-jurisdictional litigation against a former prime minister and his proxies arising from a complex fraud in respect of Mongolian mining resources.
• A major property developer in the assessment of substantial damages claims brought by subsidiary proprietors/MCST.
• The chief executive officer of a listed healthcare group in resisting a minority shareholder’s application to commence a derivative action for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
• The chief executive officer of one of the world’s largest sofa manufacturers in resisting substantial claims by a Chinese conglomerate for alleged unlawful conspiracy.
• The managing director of a major private bank in defending claims by a private banking customer.
• One of Thailand’s largest automobile contract manufacturers in international arbitration proceedings against a major Chinese automobile company.
