He also advises on matters relating to cross-border investment and joint venture disputes, company and shareholder disputes, banking and securities claims, insolvency, commercial fraud and professional disciplinary and white-collar criminal matters.

Prior to joining Oon & Bazul, Kumarasingam was a director at another local firm, Quahe Woo & Palmer.
