Apart from the firm’s shipping and insurance portfolio, the firm receives regular instructions from multi-national and public-listed corporations to act and advise on disputes and claims involving international sale of goods and documentary credits. In particular, the firm had advised in various major litigation proceedings involving the supply of equipment and software for a telecommunications venture in Indonesia.
The firm also recently acted for Louis Dreyfus Asia Pte Ltd in obtaining a Mareva injunction against the proceeds of a letter of credit issued in favour of a Vietnamese entity in a separate transaction, where the said Vietnamese entity defaulted under various contracts of sale of rice due to the Philippine government rice tender.
