Expertises

Corporate & commercial

Shareholder, joint venture and post-M&A disputes between companies operating across borders.

Shareholder fallings-out, contract terminations and post-acquisition claims rarely stay inside one jurisdiction. We are appointed in cases involving complex international corporate disputes, often involving multiple jurisdictions and applicable laws.

Typical disputes

  • Shareholder and joint venture disputes, including deadlock and exit
  • Post-M&A claims: warranties, price adjustments and earn-outs
  • Disputes arising from share purchase and share subscription agreements
  • Agency, promoter, consultancy and services issues
  • Fraud allegations arising out of commercial relationships

Selected appointments

  • Sole arbitrator in an SIAC arbitration arising out of a share purchase agreement (Singapore seat, Indonesian law)
  • Co-arbitrator in two related post-M&A SIAC arbitrations involving a Vietnamese investment (Singapore seat, Singapore and Vietnamese law)
  • Emergency arbitrator in an SIAC arbitration involving a shareholders’ dispute (Singapore seat, Singapore law)
