Advocatus Law partner Suresh Nair has left the Singapore-based firm to set up his own boutique Nair & Co, which specialises in disputes and insolvency. 

Joining Nair in this venture is a team of lawyers who worked alongside him during his five-year stint at Straits Law Practice, where he was a director and the head of its litigation department before joining Advocatus Law. 

Nair’s experience includes international arbitration, complex cross-border restructuring and insolvency, commercial and banking litigation, employment, corporate, shareholders’ and employment disputes and claims for fraud and breaches of fiduciary duties. 

Prior to Straits Law, he was with a partner at Allen & Gledhill for a decade, dealing with commercial litigation and disputes related to banking, media and property. 

He has also worked as a legal officer with the United Nations Compensation Commission in Geneva, where he was involved in reviewing war reparation claims coming out of the first Gulf War.
