Workplace
"Without doubt one of the most respected trade lawyers in the region, Edmund Sim is based in Hunton & Williams LLPs Singapore office and is active in several jurisdictions both inside and outside Asia. While his practice focuses on anti-dumping, he is also active in customs work, free trade agreement negotiations and other trade policy matters. He has been involved in some of the more high-profile anti-dumping procedures between Asia and the West, including those involving plastic bags and frozen shrimp. One noteworthy facet of his practice is that he handles numerous intra-Asian trade remedy cases outside his immediate jurisdiction; for instance, he has acted on dumping cases in a variety of countries including China, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia. Clients describe him as an extremely fast thinker who understands the Asian style of doing business, remarking that his expertise is so broad that he always knows the appropriate path to take when handling an issue.
