Rajah & Tann Singapore wins Best Domestic Arbitration Firm of the Year award

Rajah & Tann Singapore has been named Best Domestic Arbitration Firm of the Year at the second annual Asialaw Asia-Pacific Dispute Resolution Awards held in Hong Kong last night.

In addition to the above awards, Rajah & Tann Singapore was a finalist for best firm in the following practice areas: insolvency, insurance, TMT, labour and employment, shipping and maritime and tax.

Asialaw is a research house based in Hong Kong and the awards celebrate the foremost leaders in 12 practice areas across 14 jurisdictions in the region. The awards build on Asialaw's expertise in uncovering leading lawyers and firms in the Asia-Pacific region with individual award winners named for each country.

Accepting the firm awards at a gala dinner held at the Island Shangri-la last night, Deputy Managing Partner Rebecca Chew said: “Rajah & Tann is very honoured to have been voted Best Domestic Arbitration Firm of the Year in Singapore especially against competition from some of our peers whom we hold in high regard. It is an endorsement of the consistent high quality of our services to our clients. We are deeply committed to continue to provide all encompassing legal solutions to our clients in Singapore and the region.”

The Asialaw awards follow another by the Financial Times earlier in the year where Rajah & Tann Singapore was named the Most Innovative Law Firm in ASEAN for the year at the FT Innovative Lawyers Awards. Last year, the firm also clinched Chambers & Partners’ top national law firm award for Singapore, the second time since 2013.

Rajah & Tann Singapore’s partners have also been recognised by New York-based ALM, publisher of The Asian Lawyer, The American Lawyer, and Corporate Counsel, as the Emerging Market Law Firm Leader of the Year and Maritime Lawyer of the Year. The firm also bagged Singapore’s Law Firm of the Year at the Who’s Who Legal Awards 2015 by London-based Law Business Research Limited.
