Fullerton Law Chambers’ primary strength is in corporate and commercial disputes and it regularly acts for blue-chip corporate clients before the High Court and Court of Appeal in Singapore. Its dispute resolution practice spans a wide range of domestic and multi-jurisdictional corporate and commercial disputes, as well as international arbitration. The firm’s senior practitioners are consistently instructed as both arbitrator and counsel in international and domestic arbitrations seated in multiple forums around the globe. Market peers have nodded at their increased visibility in the past 12 months in notable cases.
The key contacts are directors Edmund Eng and Wei Chern Tham and associate director Brinden Anandakumar.
The team continues to represent a major bank in a number of proceedings arising from the collapse of oil and gas giant Hin Leong Trading. In one of the matters, the client claimed an interest in significant quantities of oil and gas cargoes stored at Universal Terminal and on board the vessel Ocean Taipan. These proceedings will challenge the Singapore courts to grapple with novel and complex issues of law relating to the passing of title of property, among others.
In another highlight, the firm defended the Great Room in relation to a claim by Turms Advisors for fees allegedly owed. The dispute was settled amicably. Royal Bank of Canada instructed the firm to fight against scammers who had perpetrated a multi-million-dollar fraud against it.
