Brunei Desk
Our Brunei Practice is a regional desk led by a Brunei-law qualified practitioner and includes lawyers with extensive practice experience, covering the whole spectrum of commercial law related to the jurisdiction.
Our Practice experience with Brunei predates year 1996. The team has had consistent engagement with the local enterprises, as well as professional services firms such as the Bruneian law firms who seek out our specialist lawyers to serve as external counsel.
Our lawyers assist Brunei-based enterprises, particularly in a counsel role, in a wide range of practice areas including corporate and commercial, specialist dispute resolution, intellectual property, insurance, international arbitration, shipping and commodities, as well as technology, media and telecommunications. Our highly rated senior litigators and arbitration lawyers have an excellent proven track record with dispute and international arbitration work related to the jurisdiction, particularly counsel work in cross-border arbitrations and complex litigation. In addition, we have provided specialist advice to Brunei regulatory bodies in the areas of telecommunications, competition and ICT laws.
Our Brunei Desk practitioners have had the privilege of handling specialist assignments with local enterprises in maritime and commodities work, aviation, oil pollution liability-related issues, TMT projects, hospitality and international arbitration.
Drawing on the expertise of our specialist lawyers and working seamlessly with our regional offices across Southeast Asia, our Brunei Desk provides high quality services and solutions to our Brunei-based clients who are looking to expand their businesses and operations across Asia.
