International Arbitration

Strong team and focus

Our arbitration team consist of over 30 specialists dedicated to arbitration and arbitration-related litigation.  As one of the oldest and largest arbitration practices in the region, we are committed participants in this sector and have seen the development of international arbitration over the years to its current prominence in the dispute resolution landscape. 

Asian footprint and wider involvement

With over two decades of conducting arbitrations throughout South-east Asia, we have specialist expertise to deal with different legal systems and a strong knowledge of unique local conditions and arbitral environments present throughout the region.  Our arbitration footprint presently extends to China, South Asia, particularly India, as well as Central Asia. 

Our well-travelled team is regularly and actively involved in a variety of matters in leading arbitration centres around the world.  We  represent our clients in disputes arising throughout Asia or globally, and manage disputes occurring in multiple jurisdictions.  Several leading members of our team are also dual-qualified to practise in Singapore and Malaysia. 

Legal expertise and industry knowledge

We aim to be at the forefront.  Many in our team hold key roles in the arbitration sphere, and have been recognised and recommended by leading legal publications and directories for their knowledge and expertise in the field of international arbitration across various sectors.

In Myanmar, we are pleased to have assisted with the drafting of the Arbitration Law 2016 which replaced the Arbitration Act 1944.
