They have appeared before me several times and are consistently superb. I would rank them as among the best in Singapore and the region.’ Similarly, Chambers observes the team’s expertise for ‘energy and natural resources disputes, […] notably LNG price review arbitrations’ and quotes one client saying: ‘They are extremely brilliant lawyers who have a thorough understanding of how arbitrations work, and the sort of things that tribunals value.’
