Elan Krishna joins Oon & Bazul as Partner in Dispute Resolution practice

Elan Krishna, a former Partner at Clifford Chance, Singapore, has joined Oon & Bazul LLP to enhance its Dispute Resolution practice, with a particular emphasis on international arbitration.

Krishna is a 2009 graduate of NUS Faculty of Law. He earned his LLM in International Legal Studies from New York University School of Law.

Krishna has acted for clients in a wide variety of high value and complex arbitration matters, with a particular focus on arbitrations involving allegations of fraud, corruption or illegality.

He has particular expertise in disputes arising in the aviation and logistics sector. He has been recommended in Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2019 with clients praising him as 'relentlessly productive'. He is a board member of the ICDR's Young & International Group and a committee member of the Law Society of Singapore's International Relations Committee. He also has an active litigation practice centered on complex commercial appeals and cross-jurisdictional insolvency matters.

Krishna’s timely arrival enhances the firm’s capacity to handle the surge in the high-value instructions that the firm is seeing. The current geopolitical dynamics are resulting in an uptick in complex-commercial disputes, and his addition will support the firm’s response to their clients’ needs.

Commenting on the expansion, Oon & Bazul’s Managing Partner and Head of the Dispute Resolution Practice, Bazul Ashhab, said,

"With our firm already highly recognized in the market, I am pleased to welcome Elan, whose tenure at Clifford Chance and extensive experience in high-value, complex disputes and international arbitration will be a strong complement to our team. His arrival adds to the number of our senior lawyers, as we continue delivering the exceptional quality of work our clients expect. Elan will also play a key role in mentoring our junior lawyers, aligning with our commitment to develop talent and meet our clients’ evolving needs in a dynamic global economy."
