Peter & Kim, a law firm specialising in arbitration, has bolstered its Singapore office with the appointment of Elodie Dulac as a partner.
Dulac joins from King & Spalding, where she spent more than 15 years, including 11 years as a partner.
She specialises in commercial arbitration and investment treaty arbitration across the Asia-Pacific region, with expertise in energy sector disputes. She also has extensive experience in African energy disputes, acting for both Asia-Pacific and European clients.
“Since 2020, our Singapore office has grown more than fivefold, driven by a team of lawyers who share a passion for complex international and cross-border disputes. Elodie is a perfect example of the type of lawyer we seek to attract: an exceptional practitioner with a truly international outlook and deep experience handling sophisticated cross-border matters,” SeungMin Lee, managing partner of Peter & Kim’s Singapore office, told Asia Business Law Journal.
Lee added that the firm plans to continue expanding its Singapore team, given the jurisdiction’s status as a major dispute resolution hub.
“Looking ahead, we remain ambitious about our Singapore presence. We see Singapore not only as the leading dispute resolution hub in Southeast Asia, but also as a strategic gateway connecting Asia, Europe and the Middle East. We will therefore continue to actively seek exceptional talent – whether Singapore-trained lawyers or international practitioners from around the world – who share our commitment to international arbitration and cross-border disputes,” she said.
“Our goal is not simply to grow in size, but to build the most international disputes team in the region, bringing together talented lawyers from different jurisdictions, cultures and legal traditions under one roof.”
