Some of our team’s most high profile successful cases include:

• Obtaining orders from the Singapore High Court for a major Singapore bank to disclose its customer’s bank statements for use in legal proceedings in Germany concerning the Wirecard scandal. Our success in this case was widely reported in the global legal press in late 2021 / early 2022 as it is very rare to obtain such disclosure and use orders in a banking secrecy jurisdiction like Singapore.

• Defending a Japanese investment company in a multi-million dollar civil lawsuit involving parties from various parts of Asia, including Indonesia, Singapore, Korea and China. This matter involved issues of security and beneficial interests, equitable mortgages and charges, knowing receipt, dishonest assistance, fraud and constructive trust.

• Acting for the owners of a leading Indonesian paint manufacturer in a USD 200 million lawsuit in the High Court of Singapore concerning ownership and control of the company, its distribution network and multiple properties in Indonesia. The lawsuit involved issues of fraud, duress, misrepresentation, undue influence, falsification of accounts and tax liabilities.

• Acting for a listed company on the South Korean stock exchange in a multi-million dollar lawsuit in the High Court of Singapore against the subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company, involves issues of breach of contract, demurrage, dead freight and enforcement of guarantees.

• Acting for the majority shareholder of a Singapore company in a minority oppression lawsuit where the minority shareholder sought an order for the buy-out of his 13.91% stake in the company for between SGD 4.96 million and SGD 9.48 million. The Singapore High Court agreed with our arguments and ruled that the minority’s stake was worth only SGD 15,200. This case was reported in The Straits Times (Singapore’s largest broadsheet newspaper) on 15^th February 2018.

• Acting for a shareholder of a famous Michelin-star restaurant in the High Court of Singapore against its directors and their related companies for breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and knowing receipt.
