There is unanimous respect in the market for dispute resolution boutique firm Providence Law and its managing director and senior counsel, Abraham Vergis. Its team is regularly sought out by international law firms for counsel work and is experienced in cross-border disputes. Since being established in 2012, the firm has grown to 17 Singapore qualified lawyers and is expanding its pool of foreign qualified practitioners. The firm regularly takes on briefs of significant size, complexity and value, often from global clients that are based in jurisdictions such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Seychelles, Australia, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Switzerland and the US.
Apart from Vergis, other notable directors are international arbitration expert Jiaxiang Zhuo and Kenny Lau. Last year, insolvency specialist Nawaz Kamil departed for August Law Corporation, while director Lim Mingguan joined Drew & Napier.
