The Mayer Brown arbitration team in Singapore actively work on mandates from across the region. The team was bolstered last year with the arrivals of noted international arbitration specialist Kay-Jannes Wegner from Kim & Chang and senior associate Edern Coent. Both are involved in long-standing ongoing large defence procurement and construction-related arbitrations, which complement the existing offering. Another key addition was counsel Kate Apostolova from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
The firm consistently handles contentious matters for energy, infrastructure, commodity finance and natural resources clients, and has a heavy concentration of renewable energy sector and gas price review disputes. Cases managed by the firm include price review arbitration, restructuring-related disputes, M&A-related disputes, shareholder disputes and investment arbitration disputes. In addition to the investment arbitration caseloads, the team is experienced in a myriad of general commercial disputes. Recently, it has handled instructions in the TMT, sports and media, fashion, hospitality, real estate and defence industries.
Key contacts include international arbitration specialists and partners Yu-Jin Tay, Paul Teo and Wegner.
