As arbitrator, he hears cases as a sole, ad hoc and emergency arbitrator, ranging from intellectual property disputes to disputes over the commercialisation of technology. His multi-jurisdictional experience and admissions across Singapore, the USA and England and Wales provide a significant advantage in understanding practices and the law in international arbitration.
