Arthur’s practice is in the areas of corporate and commercial law, and also in intellectual property. He had been consulted on some of the most significant investments and transactions in Singapore real estate, electronics, motor parts manufacturing and, of late, in the oil and gas business and the construction of oil exploration vessels in the region. His extensive experience and practical approach is appreciated by clients who require effective representation at the negotiating table for large transactions, where the lawyer’s input can make a substantial contribution to the client’s cause and gives the client economic and corporate benefits.

He works closely with Phillip Bushby of the associated firm of Loke Bushby International, Sydney on large transactions in the region.  In 2007 and 2008, they have been working on oil related transactions each valued at several US$ billions.

Arthur is the current Secretary General of the Inter-Pacific Bar Association and Advisor to the Singapore Law Review. He is a director of a telecommunications company (French) in a Vietnam joint venture. For the period May 1996 to December 1997, he was a columnist of the Asahi Shimbun (Sunday international edition) and from 2003 to 2005 he was Advisor to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Mongolia.

In 2008 Arthur was selected for inclusion by Asia Law & Practice in its publication of Asialaw Leading Lawyers 2008 as one of the outstanding corporate lawyers in Singapore.
