India

India is one of the largest and most dynamic economies in the world and has seen an uptick in foreign investments, especially in the manufacturing sector. Foreign investors and their Indian counterparts are increasingly looking at Singapore as a neutral hub for resolving their disputes, before forums such as the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). This has led to Indian parties consistently being one of SIAC’s top foreign users in the past few years.

Our India Practice

Our India Practice comprises of lawyers who have substantial experience working in tandem with Indian law firms. We are regularly instructed by leading Indian law firms to protect the interests of their clients by appearing before the Singapore Courts and in international arbitrations in Singapore, London and New York. We also take up direct instructions from clients looking to do business in Singapore. Our lawyers are fluent in Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali and Gujarati, and closely understand Indian culture.
