Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Solutions to contentious issues are wide-ranging and can be particular to jurisdictions. Working with a law firm that has a thorough understanding of the Singapore and broader Asian markets is an invaluable asset.

Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice focus on complex commercial and corporate disputes, as well as regulatory enforcement. Our lawyers have significant experience litigating before all levels of the Singapore Courts.

We have years of experience acting as lead counsel on a wide range of local and international litigation cases - numerous cases have featured in the law reports. When required, we also instruct Senior Counsel and support our clients in the role of instructing solicitors.

At the forefront of this sector, our lawyers have advised and acted on a wide range of claims on the cutting edge of legal trends. Our specialist experience includes intellectual property litigation and copyright infringement claims, software licensing disputes, banking-related claims, employment disputes, negligence and other tortious claims (including defamation and slander of goods), landlord-and-tenant disputes, construction claims (including adjudications under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act), insolvency and restructuring, corporate and shareholder disputes (including minority oppression matters), international trade disputes, disputes in the energy sector and contractual claims. We also represent clients in respect of maritime-related and insurance claims.

Our team regularly act for statutory boards and regulatory bodies such as the National Arts Council, the Singapore Tourism Board, the Energy Market Authority and the Health Promotion Board on various contentious matters. We have a dedicated private prosecution / disciplinary prosecution practice where they conduct prosecution for the Energy Market Authority, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and the Building & Construction Authority of Singapore for criminal offences and breaches of statutory requirements.

We also regularly handle the enforcement of foreign judgments in Singapore; as well as assisting in the enforcement overseas of judgments obtained in Singapore. Our regional experience includes guiding clients through claims in overseas jurisdictions by working with legal counsel (and other professionals) in those countries. We provide strategic advice and assistance to client’s legal counsel in these other countries, co-ordinating the proceedings in the event clients need to commence legal proceedings in more than one country.
