Firm Sreenivasan Chambers has once again selected K&L for the recruitment of a new director.
In a significant move for the Singapore legal scene, renowned contracts and tort lawyer Palaniappan has joined Sreenivasan Chambers. The disputes and advisory boutique, known for its work on notable cases such as Man B&W Diesel SE Asia Pte Ltd v PT Bumi International Tankers, The Oriental Insurance Co Ltd v Reliance National Asia Re Pte Ltd, and ACB v Thomson Medical Pte Ltd, is set to benefit from Palaniappan's expertise.
Palaniappan, who specializes in medical negligence, will play a central role in shaping the firm's professional culture.
