Joshua is in his fourth year of practice, dual-qualified in Singapore (2022) and England & Wales (2026). He does commercial disputes, mostly cross-border and seated in Singapore: technology and digital-asset disputes, alongside shareholder disputes, trade finance and banking fraud, restructuring and insolvency, and arbitration.
Complex trade-finance fraud and banking disputes – letters of indemnity, documentary credits, and claims arising from structured commodity financing gone wrong.
Acting for liquidators and provisional liquidators on post-insolvency recovery, creditor engagement and asset preservation – including interpleader proceedings over competing claims to ~S$3.8 billion in oil cargoes, and a heavily contested judicial-management application concerning claims of over US$60 million.
Defending unjust-enrichment, knowing-receipt and express-trust claims and related derivative and committal proceedings – including setting aside a worldwide Mareva injunction to restore a client’s control over its assets.
SIAC-administered arbitration and related court proceedings, including a Court of Appeal challenge to the setting aside of an arbitral award on natural-justice grounds.
Multi-jurisdictional shareholder, partnership and investment-fund disputes across Asia and offshore – from minority oppression claims, drawdown and subscription-agreement claims to leading the defence and counterclaim strategy in a directors’-duties dispute.
Digital-asset recovery where insolvency meets new technology – tracing cryptocurrency across custodial wallets and exchanges, proprietary and trust claims over stablecoins and cryptocurrencies.
