Singapore is a leading global hub for international arbitration.
The city state’s position of neutrality, pro-arbitration judiciary and first-tier arbitral institutions (Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA), etc) have resulted in the country being one of the most preferred seat for arbitration worldwide.
ML Chambers is strategically headquartered in Singapore at the heart of Southeast Asia and the crossroads of international commerce. In particular, the firm draws upon its depth of experience in complex multi-jurisdictional disputes, network of foreign partners and ability to grasp the cultural nuances of each cross-border dispute.
We represent a broad range of clients across various industries – from private companies to state-owned entities in international arbitrations before leading arbitration institutions. Our lawyers have advised and represented clients in disputes in construction, commercial contracts, ship building and oil & gas, investments, and shareholder and joint venture related disputes.
Our team is equipped with the relevant court work expertise to complement ML Chambers’ arbitration practice, including stay of proceedings applications, jurisdictional challenges, various forms of injunctions and awards enforcement (often in worldwide recovery actions).
Our lawyers are invited to speak and participate actively in regional and global arbitration forums, including the Global Arbitration Review’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Arbitration Forum (“GAR Live: APAC 2026”) which brings together the “most prominent voices in arbitration“.
Thomson Reuters, Asian Legal Business, also expressly notes ML Chambers’ proficiency in “… complex high-stakes commercial litigation, arbitration and cross-border transactional work.“
