Professor Douglas Jones AO has been appointed to sit as an International Judge in the Singapore International Commercial Court (for the period 1 November 2019 to 4 January 2021).
Professor Jones will continue to practice as an international arbitrator from Atkin Chambers in London, Sydney Australia and from Toronto, Canada.
Professor Jones is highly-regarded as an international arbitrator, particularly in construction and energy disputes. Chambers Asia-Pacific had recognised him as the leading Asia-Pacific Arbitrator for construction disputes. In 2018, he maintained his Band One ranking in the Chambers Asia-Pacific International arbitration category for an eighth consecutive year. In the same year, he was identified as one of the 10 most highly-regarded arbitration practitioners in London and a leader in construction disputes.
David Barnes, chief executive and director of clerking, commented that “Chambers is delighted by Professor Jones’ appointment as an International Judge of the Singapore International Commercial Court. This appointment reflects the esteem in which he is held and it will be balanced with his existing practice as an internationally renowned arbitrator”.
