Rajah & Tann Asia Member Firms Contribute the Singapore and Thailand Chapters of Contract Laws of Asia – Liquidated Damages and Penalty Clauses
Two member firms of Rajah & Tann Asia, Rajah & Tann Singapore and R&T Asia (Thailand), have contributed the Singapore and Thailand Chapters, respectively, of the “Contract Laws of Asia – Liquidated Damages and Penalty Clauses” guide jointly published by the Asian Business Law Institute (“ABLI“) and the Singapore Academy of Law.

Market Leading Practice
Comprehensive Services & Industry-Specific Expertise
Rajah & Tann Asia’s dispute resolution team is known for its dynamic and innovative solutions to complex legal challenges. We specialise in securing injunctive reliefs and court orders, providing strategic advice, and conducting appeals with precision and insight. Our expertise extends to representing clients in a variety of forums, from local courts to international dispute resolution bodies. We also have a track record of success in high-profile cases, which has earned our recognition and respect in the legal community. Whether it’s arbitration under various institutional rules, such as the ICC or UNCITRAL, or navigating the intricacies of investment treaty disputes, our team brings a wealth of experience and a strategic mindset to the table.
Our dispute resolution practice is further enhanced by a dedicated Arbitration Asia portal, which serves as a comprehensive resource for the latest developments in arbitration across the region. This portal provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of international arbitration, with articles and case alerts that keep clients informed about significant legal precedents and regulatory changes.
Our litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) capabilities are equally impressive. Our approach to commercial litigation is marked by a strategic understanding of clients’ needs, ensuring that each case is handled with the utmost professionalism and dedication to achieving favourable outcomes. The ADR practice is notable for its effectiveness in resolving disputes in a manner that is both efficient and amicable, often through mediation and negotiation, which can save clients time and resources.
