Established in 2019 by one of the market’s most respected litigators, dispute resolution boutique Davinder Singh Chambers has solidified its premier status in Singapore. The firm remains a fixture in the top tier for general commercial litigation and international arbitration on the back of plaudits from peers and clients. The market agrees: Singh is the go-to man for bet-the-company battles.
With a respected cabal of practitioners, the firm regularly features in complex and high-profile cases before all levels of courts and international tribunals. It covers all aspects of contentious matters including administrative law, insolvency, commercial litigation, employment, private client and white-collar crime. In the firm’s fourth year of practice, 2023, the cumulative value of disputes it handled exceeded $18 billion.
Led Davinder Singh, the team comprises CEO Jaikanth Shankar and directors Sngeeta Rai, Timothy Lin, Navin Thevar, Ruoyu Tan, David Fong and Bryan Wong.
In a high-profile patent case that has run for seven years, Singh helped Singapore-based Ila Technologies to secure a victory against a member of the international De Beers Group in a case relating to the methods used to grow synthetic diamonds. This landmark case, one of the biggest patent battles to date, addressed novel points of patent law.
