Desmond Ang is active in multi-jurisdictional disputes involving post-M&A disagreements, as well as joint venture and private equity disputes.

He consistently demonstrates an exceptional level of client service and professionalism. His strategic approach and ability to navigate intricate legal issues reflect the depth of his experience. 

He has an Asia practice, but its tentacles spread internationally. He's a well-seasoned partner.

Even when I have very tight time schedules he's willing to help and has very good commercial sense.

Zhang Yan regularly represents international corporates in addition to her primary focus on acting for Chinese clients in CIETAC and HKIAC arbitrations.

Yan is a very popular choice for cross-border disputes, partly because of her knowledge and experience in PRC law. She has vast experience in PRC law and a good grasp of the facts.

My impression was that she was really on top of matters going into the arbitration and very quick in coming up with solutions too. She also has really good communication skills.

She's good at mobilising the best resources to provide the best service to the company.
