There is not much arbitration happening involving Brunei lawyers. Notwithstanding that, we have had to avoid counter parties dragging our clients into arbitration, apply to stay arbitration proceedings on top of commencing arbitration proceedings both at national and international levels.

A qualified arbitrator after passing the ASEAN Legal Alliance executive course in International Commercial Arbitration in 2016, a course accredited by Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb), Robin Cheok reached another milestone when he was awarded his certificate in Advanced International Arbitration in 2019 following his pass in a course that was strategically designed to address advanced topics in arbitration from the perspectives of arbitrators and counsel, including litigators and in-house counsel hosted by the Bali International Arbitration & Medication Center in Jakarta, Indonesia. The course delivered a sophisticated understanding of the most challenging and recurrent issues in international commercial arbitration.

Robin Cheok is prepared to be an arbitrator and to lawyer in it.
