Both Eng Wee and Arvin are leaders in their respective fields and possess the right attributes to excel and have influence over their peers,” according to RHTLaw Taylor Wessing Managing Partner Mr Tan Chong Huat.

Arvin is a partner and Head (China-related Disputes) and is also involved in the Banking & Finance and China Practice groups at the law firm. Arvin’s international dispute resolution experience was given a strong institutional foundation through earlier roles as Deputy Head (China) and Counsel at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre.
