Covenant Chambers LLC has announced the appointment of Ching Meng Hang as its new Director, effective 21 April 2026. This strategic move aims to bolster the firm’s capabilities in international arbitration and construction disputes. Meng Hang, who previously served as a partner at Rajah & Tann Singapore, brings a wealth of experience in handling complex cases across the Greater China and Southeast Asian regions.
Meng Hang’s legal career spans over a decade, with a focus on high-value commercial and construction disputes. His expertise is particularly noted in international arbitration, having managed cases under the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) rules. Notably, he represented a Chinese state-owned enterprise in an SIAC arbitration exceeding $50 million (US$50 million) concerning a major solar power plant project.
Lee Ee Yang, Managing Director of Covenant Chambers, expressed confidence in Meng Hang’s addition to the team, stating, “Meng Hang’s proven tenure in managing contentious matters demonstrates our ethos of being trusted counsel who provide astute legal services.” Meng Hang’s advocacy has been praised by the Singapore courts for his ability to distil complex issues and master legal authorities and evidence.
Meng Hang, who also serves on the Reserve Panel of Arbitrators at SIAC and the Panel of Arbitrators at the Hainan International Arbitration Court, remarked on his new role: “I find a kindred spirit in Covenant Chambers – its collegiate culture and its steadfast commitment to clients’ best interests.” His appointment is expected to contribute significantly to the firm’s growth and commitment to justice.
