Globalisation and the economic shift to Asia has resulted in significant new opportunities for law firms and in-house counsel operating in this region. At the same time, partners in these law firms and corporate counsel are facing increased challenges including cost pressures, growing competition and talent retention issues. In this changing legal landscape, legal professionals must complement their technical legal expertise with strong leadership to manage these challenges and seize emerging growth opportunities.

The SAL-INSEAD Legal Leadership Programme is a two-day intensive management programme specifically designed and contextualised to address the needs of law firm partners, general counsel and legal service officers. Participants from the private sector should currently have P&L remit in their roles or will soon be assuming P&L responsibilities in their organisations.

This unique programme applies business school methodologies to address leadership challenges faced by legal professionals including improving organisational alignment, managing growth and change, motivating people and teams for high performance, and communicating effectively.

This seminar will explore the contribution which judgments of Singapore courts have made to the development of the law, both in Singapore and in the common law world, in three key areas of minority shareholder rights law: minority oppression, derivative claims and the reflective loss principle. It will consider how recent Singapore judgments, including in the Thio Syn Pyn v Thio Syn Kym and Kiri Industries Ltd v Senda International Capital Ltd litigation, have pushed forward the law on minority oppression, in particular concerning the basis on which minority shareholdings should be valued when a buy-out order is made. It will consider the impact of Petroships Investment Pty Ltd v Wealthplus Pte Ltd [2016] 2 SLR 1022 on the question whether derivative claims should be available where the company is in liquidation, and will assess the impact of the judgments of the Singapore Court of Appeal in Townsing v Jenton Overseas Investment [2007] 2 SLR(R) 597 and Miao Weiguo v Tendcare Medical Group Holdings [2022] 1 SLR 884 on the development of the reflective loss principle. It will also suggest how Singapore courts can provide a distinctive contribution in the future, especially where English and Hong Kong case law have developed in different ways.
