Duxton Hill Chambers—Lucas Bastin KC & Joshua Hiew

Set expands London and Singapore offering with senior international disputes hires

Duxton Hill Chambers has strengthened its international disputes practice with the arrivals of Lucas Bastin KC from Essex Court Chambers and Joshua Hiew from Allen & Gledhill LLP. The set has also taken new premises at 16 Old Buildings in Lincoln’s Inn and hired experienced London clerks Sam Biggerstaff and Lucy Burrows as it expands its London presence.

Bastin (pictured) joins Duxton Hill Chambers London, where he will focus on complex international disputes, including commercial litigation and arbitration. Qualified in both England and Wales and Australia, he has acted in major international cases and arbitrations under leading arbitral rules and across key global seats.

Hiew joins Duxton Hill Chambers’ Singapore group practice after eight years at Allen & Gledhill LLP. His practice focuses on commercial litigation and international arbitration, with experience before the Singapore courts and international tribunals.

Toby Landau KC said the set was ‘delighted’ to welcome both lawyers, describing Bastin as ‘a leading international practitioner’ and Hiew as ‘an outstanding lawyer’. He added that the chambers looked forward to ‘further develop[ing] a truly special and distinct set of chambers in London’.
