International boutique law firm Appleton Luff has promoted international trade lawyer Jay Nee to partner, after he joined the firm in 2009 as counsel. He will join Edmund Sim as the firm’s second partner in their One Raffles Quay office in Singapore, and will be the eight Appleton Luff partner internationally.
Nee’s practice areas will cover trade remedies (including anti-dumping and countervailing duties), customs, foreign investment, international business operations, IP and WTO issues.
He has extensive experience representing exporters and US importers in proceedings involving investigations before the US Department of Commerce and US International Trade Commission. His clients span Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, South Korea, Thailand, Japan and Vietnam.
Concurrent to Nee’s appointment, Kelly Slater will also be appointed partner to Appleton Luff’s Washington DC’s office. The firm specialises in international trade, cross-border commerce, arbitration, investment and public law, and operates as separately incorporated law offices located in Brussels, Geneva, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Warsaw and Washington.
“Our clients have expressed great confidence and satisfaction in Jay’s and Kelly’s work - we are proud to call them partners,” said founding partner Arthur Appleton.
Prior to his appointment with the firm, Nee spent nine years with White & Case as a trade consultant and foreign attorney in Taipei, Shanghai and Washington, DC and three years with Hunton & Williams in their Washington DC and Singapore offices as a legal consultant.ALB
