In today's increasingly interdependent global economy,

complex international transactions involving multiple parties

from diverse business cultures are common.

Owing to the prevalence of such international contractual

arrangements and dealings, one can expect that cross-

border disputes have become increasingly complex

and multifarious. Representing clients successfully through

these proceedings, while ensuring that their rights and

interests are promoted and safeguarded pending

arbitration, is the focus and pride of CNP's Arbitration Team.

CNP's Arbitration Team, standing as an integral branch of its

Dispute Resolution Practice Group (DRPG), has extensive

experience in handling a wide range of arbitral matters

under the rules of major international arbitration institutions

such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the

Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), United

Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL)

and Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre For Arbitration (KLRCA).

Our Arbitration Team has represented clients in the

semiconductor, computing, construction, aviation and

telecommunication industries, among others, and has been

involved in all aspects of both international and domestic

arbitration.

Our clients receive assistance, representation, and advice

at all phases of the arbitral process, including advice on

drafting of arbitration clauses, pre-arbitration negotiations,

selection and appointment of arbitrators and qualified

technical experts, preparation of evidence, matters relating to forensic

evidence and electronic discovery, actual representation before

arbitral proceedings, enforcement of arbitral awards across Asia

including challenges and appeals of such awards.

CNP's Arbitration Team has also represented clients before the High

Our Private Clients Practice Group is concerned with fulfilling

the private needs of individuals, including the individuals

behind our corporate and business clients. These needs

relate broadly to an individual's family and the preservation

of personal wealth to fulfil the individual's objectives.

Estate Planning – Described as the art of organising your

affairs in such a way that, no matter how rich or poor

you consider yourself to be, you achieve your maximum

potential for wealth protection and are able to enjoy it

as much as possible during your lifetime, all your loved

ones and dependants are properly provided for in

accordance with your wishes and their needs and none

of your hard earned wealth (or as little as possible) is lost

in unnecessary expenses and taxes. An estate plan may

be prepared at any time of your life but is more

effective the earlier you start. It may include aspects of

Trusts, Wills and Probate among other things.

Trusts – Often used to protect assets and preserve them

for the use and benefit of future generations or other

beneficiaries of your choice. They have other uses, for

example, in the context of wills, avoiding probate and

mitigating death duties which may arise in other

countries.

Wills and Probate – This is not just about providing for

your family or making sure the right people get the right

amount after you move to the next world. It is about

caring for your family now through timely planning. It is

about putting the right person in charge of your

property and making sure that things are as easy as

possible for your family in the event of your death. It

need not be too difficult nor take a lot of your time to

make a will. Our fast track wills system eases the process for you,

making it as painless and efficient as possible.

Family Offices – Generally, a family office is an entity which

assumes the day-to-day management and administration of the

assets and wealth of high net worth individuals or families. Wealth

preservation and growth are common objectives when

establishing a family office, and clients may consider using such a

vehicle to focus on the functions of investment management, tax

planning, estate and succession planning, and philanthropic

planning. As clients will often enter into arrangements with

professional advisors for wealth management services, we work

closely with our corporate practice and funds practice to advise

our clients on the structure of their family office, ensuring that such

arrangements achieve our clients’ goals and are in compliance

with Singapore law.
