Veteran lawyer appointed judicial commissioner of Supreme Court

Mr Nair, who has been in practice for about 35 years, will serve a one-year term from April 1.

Judicial commissioners have the powers of a judge and are appointed for a specific period determined by the President.

Mr Nair is the deputy chief executive of law firm Drew & Napier. He also heads its corporate restructuring and workout practice group.

He joined Drew & Napier after he was admitted to the Singapore Bar in 1990. Much of his work there was focused on restructuring, mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Indonesia and China.

Mr Nair's expertise and contributions have been publicly recognised.
