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
Court of Singapore to prosecute applications for interim measures in
support of arbitration.

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.
