Patrick Dahm German-Singapore lawyer and arbitrator

Hello! I’m Patrick. Or, as it’s said in Japan­ese, Pat­orikku.

If you’re here look­ing for inform­a­tion about my work as an arbit­rat­or or medi­at­or, you’ll want to head over to my oth­er web­site, which is ded­ic­ated to that side of things. But while you’re here, have a look around!

So, a bit about me. I’m ori­gin­ally from Ger­many and have been liv­ing in Singa­pore since 2001, or 2008, depend­ing on how you count. Either way, Singa­pore is home.

What do I do? I’m a Ger­man-qual­i­fied law­yer (Rechts­an­walt), and one of the few for­eign prac­ti­tion­ers in Singa­pore registered to prac­tise both Singa­pore law (in per­mit­ted areas) and Ger­man law. I’m also a fully registered for­eign law­yer with the Singa­pore Inter­na­tion­al Com­mer­cial Court (SICC). By day, I prac­tise law. By night, I blog about it. Some­times. Not as often as I’d like.

I’m a book­worm, and I’ve got a bit of a nerdy streak, which I indulge as a proud mem­ber of the Tolki­en Soci­ety and the Sons of the Desert.

The rest of the time you’ll find me on a yoga mat. Or under­wa­ter, scuba diving, when I get the chance.

Feel free to drop me a line.
