Quinn Emanuel's Singapore office focuses on high-stakes, complex international disputes, and particularly international commercial and investment treaty arbitration. We are specialist advocates, led by a King’s Counsel, who provide comprehensive services in connection with complex disputes in jurisdictions all around the world. We are fluent in a number of languages, including English, Chinese, and Korean.
We are part of a tightly integrated team of litigators with the firm’s 34 offices in 12 countries to serve our clients all over the world. We leverage this integration to the benefit of our clients as the leading business litigation-only law firm in the world. We serve as primary counsel to clients involved in disputes in East Asia, including in Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and of course Singapore. We are also often called upon to help Asian-based clients manage disputes venued outside of Asia, in locations spanning from Kazakhstan to New York.
No other firm can match our unique combination of sophisticated, global advocacy with a local East Asian presence. We have established strong working relationships with a number of major local law firms in Asia and as such are able to provide a seamless and full range of legal services to our clients.
Our office is led by Duncan Watson KC, who specialises in international arbitration, and is qualified in both Australia and England & Wales. Who’s Who Legal (2021) listed him as one of the nine “most highly regarded” young arbitration partners in the Asia Pacific, and quoted peers who described as “an exceptional adviser and advocate” and “certainly among the very best of his generation”.
