RPC Premier Law is led by three disputes partners who share decades of local litigation experience. The firm is best known for complex commercial and civil disputes, banking and finance disputes, contentious IP matters, professional defence and dispute resolution in regulatory matters. Its contentious industry expertise covers fintech, technology, media, insurance, energy and transportation. The firm has adopted a strategy to not represent large banks or other financial institutions, making it a popular choice for referrals from other full-service firms. The firm has handled disputes under a variety of arbitral rules in forums around the world and nearly all its domestic court matters are at the High Court level or above.
The key individuals are international arbitration and disputes specialists Navin Joseph Lobo, Swee Siang Boey and Yuankai Lin, and IP expert Nicholas Lauw.
In a contentious commercial highlight, the team acted for Indonesian company PT Pipit Mutiara Indah, its director and Singapore investment company QL Mutiara to obtain an anti-suit injunction in the Singapore courts to restrain Indonesian court proceedings that were commenced to circumvent the arbitration clause in a joint venture agreement.
