As a partner in our Dispute Resolution Group in Singapore, I act regularly for our private sector and governmental clients in high-value complex transnational commercial and regulatory disputes across the TMT and financial sectors, as well as in the infrastructure, energy & utilities space.

Arbitration analysis: What happens to an arbitration clause upon the expiration of the main agreement and where parties continued to perform the contract as if it had not expired?
