Civil Litigation

We represent individuals and businesses in civil disputes before the State Courts and the Supreme Court of Singapore. Our litigation team has experience across a broad range of civil matters including contractual disputes, debt recovery, employment claims, and commercial disagreements.

We are firm believers in resolving disputes efficiently and cost-effectively wherever possible. Where settlement is not achievable, we pursue matters vigorously at trial to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.

Dispute Resolution

Not every dispute needs to go to court. We advise clients on the full range of dispute resolution options available in Singapore, including mediation, negotiation, and arbitration. Our lawyers are skilled in helping parties reach practical, durable settlements that avoid the time and cost of contested proceedings.

Where court proceedings become necessary, we provide strategic and experienced representation.

Divorce (Simplified & Contested)

Divorce is a difficult and emotionally charged process. Our family lawyers provide clear, compassionate advice to guide you through every stage – from determining eligibility and filing the Originating Application to resolving ancillary matters including the division of matrimonial assets, custody arrangements, and maintenance.

We handle both simplified (uncontested) divorces and contested proceedings. We are experienced in complex discovery applications, allegations of asset dissipation, and acrimonious matters requiring careful strategic management. Our aim is always to achieve a fair and practical resolution with minimum disruption to you and your family.

Family Law

Beyond divorce, our family law practice covers the full spectrum of personal and family-related legal matters. We act for clients in applications for personal protection orders (PPOs), matters under the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) and Vulnerable Adults Act (VAA), maintenance applications, and variations of existing court orders.

We understand that family matters are rarely straightforward. We bring both legal expertise and practical sensitivity to every matter we handle, ensuring that your rights and your family’s wellbeing are protected throughout.

Probate and Administration of Estates

When a loved one passes away, navigating the legal process of administering their estate can feel overwhelming. We guide executors, administrators, and beneficiaries through every step – from applying for a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, liaising with relevant financial institutions, CDP/SGX, and insurance companies for the preparation of the Schedule of Assets, to distributing the estate in accordance with the Will or the Intestate Succession Act.

We also handle contested probate matters, including disputes over the validity of a Will or the proper administration of an estate. Our lawyers provide clear, empathetic advice to help families resolve these matters with as little conflict as possible.

Corporate Law

We advise businesses at every stage – from incorporation and structuring to commercial contracts, shareholders’ agreements, and regulatory compliance. Our team brings practical commercial experience across a range of industries, enabling us to provide legal advice that is grounded in business reality and not just legal theory.

Whether you are a start-up seeking sound foundational documents or an established SME navigating a complex transaction, we work closely with you to protect your interests and achieve commercially sensible outcomes.

Criminal Defence

Being investigated or charged with a criminal offence is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. Our criminal defence lawyers provide clear, candid advice and robust representation at every stage – from police investigations, PG hearings through to trial and, where necessary, appeal.

We have acted for clients across a wide range of offences including road traffic matters, theft, sexual offences, and regulatory breaches involving statutory authorities. We approach every case with discretion and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for the individual.

Defamation

We act for both claimants and defendants in defamation matters, including claims involving false and damaging statements made online, in print, or on social media. In an age where reputational harm can spread rapidly through digital channels, swift and decisive legal action is often essential.

We have experience in obtaining the removal of defamatory content, securing retractions and apologies, and pursuing damages through the courts. We also advise businesses and individuals on the steps to take before initiating proceedings, including pre-action correspondence and interim injunctive relief where urgency demands it.

Landlord and Tenant Disputes

We act for both landlords and tenants in the full range of tenancy-related disputes. This includes claims for unpaid rent and utilities, security deposit disputes, early termination, reinstatement obligations, re-entry, and breaches of tenancy agreement.

Our team has extensive experience in residential and commercial tenancy disputes, including matters involving foodcourt operators, retail tenants, and industrial premises. We have achieved successful outcomes for clients at both the State Courts and the High Court.

Tort and Negligence – Accident Claims

If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of another party, you may be entitled to compensation. We act for claimants in personal injury and accident claims, including injuries from assault or medical negligence and workplace injuries.

We work on a practical, client-focused basis to ensure your claim is handled efficiently and that you receive fair compensation.

Personal Legal Matters – Wills, LPAs & Trust Deeds

Planning for the future is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. We assist individuals in drafting and executing Wills that clearly reflect their wishes and minimise the potential for future disputes. We also advise on trust structures where more complex estate planning is required.

We are experienced in preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) – the legal instrument that enables you to appoint a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf should you lose mental capacity. Our lawyers are registered certificate issuers under the Mental Capacity Act, allowing us to handle your LPA application entirely in-house.

All our lawyers are fluent in English and Mandarin, ensuring that clients and their families can discuss these deeply personal matters in the language they are most comfortable with.

Appointment of Deputy under the Mental Capacity Act

Where a family member has lost mental capacity without a valid LPA in place, a court application to appoint a deputy may be necessary. We guide families through this process – from assessing eligibility and preparing the application to appearing before the court where required.

We approach these matters with sensitivity and efficiency, understanding that families in this situation are already under considerable stress. Our aim is to resolve the application as smoothly as possible so that your loved one’s affairs can be properly managed.
