At Krish Maniam & Co, our Arbitration and International Disputes practice is driven by a singular objective to achieve efficient, enforceable, and commercially viable outcomes for clients engaged in complex cross-border disputes.

|With an international outlook and a network that spans key arbitral centres such as London, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, our team is equipped to advise and represent clients in both institutional and ad hoc arbitrations under major rules including ICC, LCIA, SIAC, AIAC, and UNCITRAL. We understand that international disputes often involve nuanced jurisdictional, procedural, and enforcement challenges and we address each of these with precision, foresight, and strategic acumen.

Our firm serves clients globally to respond to the need of contemporary high profile individuals and transnational enterprises, to manage their risks efficiently in an increasingly complex global environment, where dealing with law enforcement issues (compliance, anti-corruption and money laundering, sanctions, organized crime etc.) has become as much a part of the conduct of transnational business. We do so in a cost-efficient manner.

Our London-based division, led by Dr. Rutsel Martha, the former General Counsel of INTERPOL, enhances our ability to handle disputes that transcend borders and jurisdictions. The division works closely with our Malaysian team, offering clients a seamless integration of local expertise and international advocacy.

Our Scope of Work

Our Approach

Our philosophy in arbitration is grounded in legal excellence, procedural efficiency, and strategic foresight. We combine robust advocacy with pragmatic commercial sense always aligning dispute strategy with our clients’ business objectives.
