Practice Areas

Calvin is managing partner of Reed Smith’s Singapore office. Prior to Singapore, Calvin practiced in New York, London, and Hong Kong. He leads a Chambers and Partners-ranked regulatory enforcement and investigations team that covers the Asia-Pacific region. He is an international disputes and investigations lawyer and has been recognised repeatedly by legal directories for his extensive experience in corporate investigations and international arbitration (and related litigation).

He has led numerous internal investigations and regulatory enforcement and compliance matters. Many of these relate to an inquiry or probe by a government agency or regulator or involve companies that are under monitorship. Calvin regularly advises on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-corruption and bribery laws, securities and accounting fraud, misuse or misappropriation of proprietary data, and related governance and corporate compliance issues. He also handles complex multi-jurisdictional litigation, as well as U.S. litigation matters involving Asia.

Chambers and Partners has lauded Calvin as being “technically strong and well-versed in various markets,” as well as being “highly intelligent.” Clients appreciate “his ability to find alternatives when faced with difficult situations,” for being “calm, calculated and level-headed during times of pressure,” as well as “commercial and client-focused.” Euromoney has recognised him as an “expert” in white-collar crime.
