Swee Siang Boey

Partner

Swee Siang’s speciality is cross-border litigation and international arbitration. He represents a wide variety of clients from multiple jurisdictions in often high-value and complex disputes. He is a member of the Singapore Academy of Law, the Singapore Law Society, the Law Society of England and Wales, and the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators.

“Clients like the fact I give them frank advice which is commercially focused.”

“Much of my practice is very international, and I have represented clients based in Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, China, Papua New Guinea, and the US. Due to the small size of the Singapore market, having an international practice is crucial.

As I am practicing in commercial disputes, I do not really have a “typical client”. Right now, for instance, I am representing a US-based consultancy firm in the oil and gas industry, a commercial landlord, and a supplier in the construction industry.

I represent the client as both advocate and solicitor, as we do not instruct barristers in Singapore. I listen carefully to my clients, try my best to understand their concerns and objectives, and they like the fact that I give them frank advice which is commercially focused. When they decide to litigate, they know that I will do my best to help them win.”: 

Swee Siang’s recent work highlights:

Delivery of a new global property programme, and associated advisory on regulatory aspects 

Delivery of a new combined technology professionals wording with cyber and crime covers for global insurer   

Working with a start-up MGA in the development of a suite of wordings, schedules, endorsement libraries, and associated policy summaries and providing additional advisory in relation to insurance regulatory aspects, including Consumer Duty, and data protection.
