Mohammed Reza has joined Withers KhattarWong LLP, the Singapore member of Withers, as Partner and Head of International Arbitration for Singapore.
Reza is an alumnus of University of Nottingham. He earned his LL.M. from University of Melbourne.
He has extensive experience in litigation and arbitration, adeptly handling trial and appellate matters, arbitration and investigations for clients across various sectors, including banking and investment, energy, insurance, sport and diverse corporate disputes.
CEO of the global dispute resolution division at Withers Peter Wood commented,
"Our clients increasingly operate in multiple jurisdictions, and the ability to resolve complex, cross-border disputes effectively is more critical than ever. The continued internationalisation of arbitration, particularly in Asia, calls for sharp, strategic lawyers who understand both the regional and global landscape. Reza’s arrival enhances our international offering and reflects our continued commitment to providing market-leading dispute resolution services across key global centres."
Withers' Regional Division Leader for Dispute Resolution (Asia) Chenthil Kumarasingam added,
"Reza is an outstanding lawyer and an excellent addition to our team. This year we have made substantial moves to grow and strengthen our disputes team in Singapore. As international arbitration continues to grow in Asia – and with Singapore solidifying its position as a leading arbitration hub – Reza’s expertise will be key to our expansion and provision of client services across the region.”
On his joining, Reza shared,
“I am very pleased to be joining Withers, which has invested substantially in growing its Asian disputes capabilities. International arbitration in Asia is entering a transformative period, with Singapore and Hong Kong leading the way in institutional innovation and enforcement reliability. Clients are increasingly seeking cross-border, industry-savvy counsel, and Withers is perfectly positioned to meet those needs with its international reach and collaborative culture. I look forward to building a dynamic disputes powerhouse dedicated to delivering commercial and practical solutions that propel our clients' global ambitions forward."
