Dispute resolution

Established in 2016, RevLaw is a dedicated dispute resolution practice with particular expertise in commercial litigation, contentious employment matters and insolvency. The firm comprises seven fee earners and is led by two partners, Sui Tong Chua and Yik Wee Liew, who are particularly experienced in insolvency and employment disputes. Its regular clients include banks, insurers, private equity funds, contractors, hotel owners and insolvency practitioners. This year the firm climbs up one notch in the commercial disputes ranking.

The team recently scored a win for the former CEO of HTL, an investment holding company with subsidiaries in sofa manufacturing. The client was a defendant in a suit raised by a Chinese listed conglomerate, which claimed that the client, alongside two other defendants, had made various misrepresentations and breached numerous personal undertakings to the plaintiff. The matter was discontinued in late 2022 by the plaintiffs on terms which restrict them from commencing fresh proceedings without leave of court and the payment of substantial costs to all the defendants.

In another case, the team acted for various Mongolian state agencies in fraud claims against a former prime minister of Mongolia and his proxies. Sritex Group has instructed the firm for Singapore-related court work that is associated with its debt restructuring in Indonesia.

Recent active clients include Bank of America and Orion-One Development.
