Mark Ng

I am a senior associate in our Dispute Resolution Group in Singapore, and have represented clients in various high-value, cross-border, commercial litigation and international arbitrations.

I have advised and acted for local, foreign and multinational clients on multiple cross-border contentious matters. Leveraging on my background in aeronautical engineering, I advised and acted for a reputable Asian airline in an arbitration under the SIAC Rules against one of the largest Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisations in the world, involving claims and counterclaims in excess of S$90 million. I have also represented clients in relation to their disputes on various infrastructure projects including the construction of a 5-star resort in the Maldives, public utilities pipelines in Singapore, tunnel ventilation systems in Singapore, and oil pipelines in the UAE. These matters range from simple non-payment to multi-million-dollar disputes involving complex technical issues with hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence.

As part of my local civil and commercial litigation portfolio, I have acted for clients at both State Courts and Supreme Court level. Some of the more notable matters that I have assisted on concern microtunneling works for public utilities, minority oppression claims and shareholder disputes, claims for breaches of directors' duties including the creditor-regarding duty.

This matter was further complicated by PRC insurance law on subrogation interfacing with Singapore-seated arbitration proceedings.
