Pinsent Masons MPillay’s Singapore office has a sizeable focus on energy and infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia Pacific region; the team has experienced an uptick in engagements from the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia. Central to this is a well-developed construction team that covers both front-end matters and disputes. With the Singapore office being part of a global firm with a leading reputation in construction, it has the local, regional and international client base that forms a flourishing practice. Newly elected partner Peter Jang has recently transferred to Singapore from Edinburgh, bringing additional front-end expertise in projects in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, along with energy transition projects. Sam Boyling is global co-head of the construction advisory and disputes team, known for representing a wealth of Chinese contractors; he splits his time between Singapore and Beijing. Frédéric Gillion is another disputes specialist with both a common and civil law background. Mohan Pillay has over three decades of experience in construction and engineering disputes. Chen Han Toh is a prominent disputes expert, along with emerging talent Yong Neng Chan. Legal director Andrea Utasy Clark has transferred to Dubai.
