Mark Ng is a Senior Associate in the Litigation, Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Practice Group of Selvam LLC.

Mark has advised and acted for local, foreign and multinational clients on a multitude of high-value, cross-border, commercial litigation and international arbitrations.

In recent years, the focus of his practice has been in international arbitration in the aviation, infrastructure and pharmaceutical sectors where Mark is able to leverage on his background in aeronautical engineering to understand the complex technicalities of the dispute and effectively advance the client’s position before the arbitral tribunal. 

Mark has been recommended by Legal 500 for dispute resolution (since 2023) and international arbitration (since 2025). Clients have said that he “exceptionally manages both complex litigation and international arbitration”, and that he gives “sound advice” that is “timely and practical”.

He received his LL.B. (Hons) from the University of Queensland, Australia in 2015 and was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore in 2018.
