Darryl Chew Maxwell Chambers InHouse Community 2021

Daryl Chew, current managing partner of Shearman & Sterling’s Singapore office has been appointed as the chairman of the Board of Directors of Maxwell Chambers.

Chew succeeds Philip Jeyaretnam SC, who was recently appointed as a Supreme Court Judicial Commissioner. Under Jeyaretnam’s leadership, Maxwell Chambers, an integrated alternative dispute resolution complex located in Singapore, has grown into a leading facility providing hearing rooms.

Chew acts as counsel and arbitrator in arbitrations involving a wide range of applicable laws, arbitral rules and seats, with a focus on construction, energy, M&A, joint venture and general commercial disputes.

I am honoured by the appointment, and privileged to have the opportunity to serve an institution that is not only a lodestar for its counterparts in the region and across the globe, but which also has immense significance to me as a dispute resolution practitioner in Singapore,” Chew said.

According to Chew, Maxwell Chambers has, over the past decade, become an unmistakable feature in the international dispute resolution landscape, and it is now an icon for ADR practitioners, both in Singapore and abroad.

As we navigate a more complex, post-pandemic global landscape, where virtual meetings and hearings are more commonplace, I look forward to building on our solid foundations, and collaborating with management and the Board to develop a shared vision for the next chapter,” he added.

He assured that Maxwell Chambers will remain singularly focused on refining its core offerings to add value and meet the diverse, evolving needs of users in the global ADR community, and that it is also committed to expanding its global footprint, adopting innovative and transformative technologies and exploiting greater synergies within the unique ecosystem of ADR stakeholders.
