ASEAN and Singapore Desk
ASEAN and Singapore
A very large share of capital entering India is structured through Singapore, and a very large share of India-related arbitration is seated there. The corridor is the busiest we run.
What we do
We advise funds, holding companies, family offices and operating businesses across the region on the Indian side of their structures. Singapore holding structures investing into India, including the treaty, substance and pricing questions that determine whether the structure survives scrutiny. Downstream investment analysis. Acquisitions and joint ventures with Indian counterparties. India-seated and Singapore-seated arbitration with an Indian element, where we act as India counsel on the Indian law issues, the Indian court applications and enforcement while the lead firm runs the reference. Enforcement of Singapore International Arbitration Centre and other awards in India. Trade, distribution and manufacturing arrangements across the region with an Indian supply leg. Establishment and exit of Indian subsidiaries of regional groups.
How the desk works
Singapore is the first destination in the firm’s published international build. See Our International Build for the sequence and the conditions.
