A group of Australian barristers has established chambers in Singapore, in another sign of the island city-state’s growing stature as a destination for international arbitration.

Known as Maxwell 42, the permanent chambers and offices are in the heart of the international arbitration centre in Singapore and include prominent barristers such as Bret Walker SC, Mark Ambrose QC, John Sheahan QC and former Federal Court of Australia judge Roger Gyles QC.
