Kenneth Pereira is a Partner in Litigation & Dispute Resolution. His areas of practice include general commercial and corporate disputes, aviation, insolvency and employment disputes. He also handles complex commercial crime cases.

Kenneth graduated from the National University of Singapore with an LLB (Hon) degree in 1993. He joined Allen & Gledhill as a pupil in 1993 and later as an Associate in 1994 after being called to the Singapore Bar. As an Associate, he handled trials both in the Subordinate Courts and the High Court of Singapore. As a Senior Associate, he had also appeared before the Court of Appeal as the lead counsel in arguing an appeal.

He left the Firm in December 1999 to join Dell as its Counsel covering Asia Pacific & Japan. He handled complex commercial deals as Dell rapidly expanded in the region during his time there. He also supervised all the litigation matters for Dell in the region.

He rejoined the Firm in 2005. He has, since his return, handled the following major cases:

 

an arbitration under ICC involving a dispute between a major aircraft engine servicing company and an international airline;

an arbitration under ICC involving a shipping transport company based in Turkey and a Korean company;

an arbitration under SIAC between an US MNC and an Israeli company involving a dispute on a joint venture partnership agreement;

a High Court trial involving a dispute over a family trust;

a commercial crime case involving the interpretation of Section 76 of the Companies Act (prohibition against financial assistance). The matter, which had originated in the Subordinate Courts, was successfully transferred to the High Court of Singapore due to the complexity of the issues of law involved. The case was eventually dismissed on a “No Case To Answer” application. The judgment of the Court is now a leading case on the interpretation of Section 76: PP v Lew Syn Pau [2006] 4 SLR 210; and

an appeal before the Court of Appeal (full bench) on an issue of setting aside of Judgment due to improper service of writ in a foreign jurisdiction.
