About

Provided by WongPartnership LLP

Our globally leading International Arbitration Practice handles commercial and investment arbitrations for a wide variety of clients, across a broad range of sectors including energy, infrastructure, finance, pharmaceuticals, gaming, hospitality, technology, transport, commodities, shipping, international trade, joint ventures, M&A and other commercial investments.

We lead the pack in Asia’s top arbitration hub. Our lawyers have acted in some of the most significant commercial and investment arbitrations in the region and globally, achieved the first-ever win for a Singapore law firm in an ICSID arbitration, and handled almost all investor-state arbitration disputes brought before the Singapore Courts. Our deep familiarity with institutional arbitrations conducted worldwide under all major arbitration rules such as AIAC, CIETAC, DIAC, HKIAC, ICC, ICDR, ICSID, LCIA, LMAA, SCMA, SIAC and UNCITRAL, is reflected in both counsel and tribunal appointments of our lawyers. Our practice is strengthened by a team of lawyers qualified in various jurisdictions other than Singapore including England and Wales, New York, China, India, Vietnam, and Philippines. We are also the go-to Singapore law firm for arbitration-related Court proceedings and the setting aside and enforcement of arbitral awards, as evident from our involvement in numerous landmark and ground-breaking arbitration decisions by the Singapore Courts.
