I am a UK and India qualified partner in Bird & Bird's Dispute Resolution team in Singapore. I specialise in advising on cross-border commercial disputes, with a particular focus on achieving the most practical and commercially viable resolution for my clients.
I most often advise and represent clients in international commercial arbitrations, mediations, adjudications, and investigations regarding anti-bribery and corruption issues.
I have experience of advising on arbitration matters under many international arbitration Rules, including, AIAC, CIETAC, DIAC, ICC, LCIA, MCIA, SIAC, SICC and UNCITRAL. While I have a particular focus on disputes emanating from the oil & gas, construction and infrastructure sectors, my advisory and representational experience ranges across many other sectors like, mining, shipping, railways and road infrastructure, telecoms, private equity, banking & finance, hospitality, franchising, pharma & bio-medical devices, and commercial disputes emanating from cross-border investments – including share-holder and corporate management related disputes.
Besides focusing on my client mandates, I also manage time to remain an active member of the arbitration community in Singapore, and am involved with arbitration related institutions like the CIArb, SIArb, YSIAC and ICC-YAF. I am also a member of the steering group of the Legal Services Interest Group at the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce.
I am also on SIAC's panel of arbitrators and often am appointed as an arbitrator.
