The team is led by ‘incredibly strong and knowledgeable partners’, including Sean Yu Chou and Swee Yen Koh SC, whose practices centre on international commercial arbitrations. ‘Masterful advocate and strategist’ Wendy Lin is integral to the team that continues to grow, with the arrival of Monisha Cheong from TSMP Law Corporation in February 2023.
