Singapore > International arbitration

Drew & Napier LLC’s ‘excellent international arbitration team’ counts financial institutions, foreign governments, multinational corporations and state-owned entities among its key roster of clients, showcasing stellar experience in high-value international commercial arbitrations and investment-treaty arbitrations. The practice stands out for its expertise across the construction and infrastructure, energy and utilities, insurance, finance, commodities, technology, property and shipping, and healthcare sectors. Esteemed arbitration practitioner Cavinder Bull SC leads the team alongside Randolph Khoo, whose caseload features disputes involving the China market. Other key contacts in the group include Lin Shumin, who is ‘exceptional in her ability to understand key issues very quickly’, and Mahesh Rai, who is praised as ‘a fierce advocate’ in construction and infrastructure arbitration cases. Siraj Omar SC has since left the firm.
