Dispute Resolution: Arbitration: The Elite

About

Provided by Ashurst

In Singapore, Ashurst acts for some of the world’s leading companies in disputes arising from major projects across the Asia-Pacific.

We have specialist expertise in international commercial arbitration: we have represented clients in arbitrations under the rules of all major institutions and senior members of the team also sit as arbitrators.

Our approach is to look beyond the dispute itself considering the wider impact and the risks posed, including the potential risk or involvement in litigation brought by third parties. No two clients or their cases are the same. We have a highly individualised approach to problem solving and believe that each client’s dispute has a best solution. Our dispute resolution lawyers are trained to work with you to find and then deliver that solution.
