‘Carey Olsen Singapore's dispute resolution team is in my view the A-Team of all offshore practices operating in Singapore today. They would be my go-to team for complex, multi-jurisdiction work involving any corporate or commercial dispute resolution in the BVI or Cayman Islands, or Singapore arbitration work, and they have a stellar array of clients drawn from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond that underscores their status as the best of the best.’
‘James Noble is quite simply the best of the best. James possesses that rare combination in a team leader of great legal insight, great leadership skills and a frightening eye for detail.'
‘Kate Lan is a hard-hitting senior lawyer who is a determined fighter for her client's interests, always going the extra mile. Kate is a joy to deal with: formidably talented and hard working.'
‘Amelia Tan has the gift of making everything seem straightforward and simple, which belies the very hard work she puts into preparing every brief. Amelia is utterly dependable, meticulous in her preparation, and always meets or exceeds expectations.’
‘Carey Olsen Singapore provided BVI advice and support for a restructuring and M&A transaction. They made a difficult transaction and closing much smoother and would be flexible around other stakeholders who were unhelpful.’
