UK law firm Penningtons appoints Max Lim as shipping disputes partner in Singapore

London-based international law firm Penningtons Manches Cooper recently announced that Max Lim has joined as a partner in its Singapore office.

Lim is a shipping and commodities specialist whose client base spans shipowners and operators, insurers, banks, as well as commodity traders, energy companies and offshore players.

He has significant experience in disputes arising under charterparties and bills of lading, covering the full spectrum of issues. He is also instructed regularly on casualty work in and around the Asia Pacific region.

The commodities and trade finance side of his practice sees Lim acting in disputes relating to the sale of a wide variety of goods, as well as representing trade finance banks in substantial recovery actions.

Lim is also actively engaged in ship building, repair and conversion work, as well as ship sale and purchase and other commercial matters, including regulatory and compliance issues, sanctions and insurance / reinsurance.

Partner Darryl Kennard, who leads Penningtons Manches Cooper’s marine, trade and aviation practice, said: “I am thrilled to welcome Max to the firm. His practice is complementary to that of Johan Wong’s and will enable the firm to make the most of the abundance of opportunities that currently exist in Singapore for firms with an established track record in shipping and international trade.”

“The Singapore office is now in great shape, and Max’s recruitment will consolidate and strengthen our position in Singapore. 

“Aside from Max’s expertise in shipping, I am particularly excited to have an experienced commodities and trade finance practitioner in Singapore to complement those in our London and Piraeus offices. All in all, Max is an excellent addition to the team.”

Lim said: “I’m delighted to be joining Penningtons Manches Cooper, and in particular in the year that the shipping practice celebrates its 200 year anniversary. I’m very much looking forward to helping to grow our offering in the Asia Pacific region, working closely with Johan Wong here in Singapore and with our international colleagues.”
