Stagione 1
Riding the wave: Peter Huang, Helmsman
Own your niche: Chris Lambert, Robertsons
Scaling AI: Iqram Singh, Axiom
In this episode, we chat with Peter Huang, associate director at Singapore law firm Helmsman, on the role of culture in dealing with Chinese parties, why Chinese clients sometimes choose Singapore over their home jurisdiction or Hong Kong to resolve disputes, and whether that appetite will hold as China's own institutions develop. Notes: Correction (4:19–4:22): The speaker refers to a "Memorandum of Undertaking." The correct term is "Memorandum of Understanding" (MoU) with Ningbo CCPIT. Correction (14:25–14:50): The speaker refers to "concurrent procedures" under the SIAC Rules. The official name for this mechanism is "Coordinated Proceedings."
