Commercial and Corporate Litigation
We are famously fast. The quick, imaginative legal solutions we provide are grounded in reality, thanks to the expertise of our Joint Managing Partner Thio Shen Yi, SC, and experts like professors Tang Hang Wu and Hans Tjio, Singapore’s leading authorities on trust law and restitution; and corporate and securities regulation, respectively. We handle the entire spectrum of the dispute resolution process: from advisory and investigative work, to negotiations, mediations, and adjudications, finally leading to trial or arbitration.
Our litigators are not just experts in the law; clients also appreciate our deep dive into the technical and commercial aspects of every dispute we undertake. Our briefs run the gamut from complex technology disputes to high profile shareholder disagreements, including successfully fighting the Raffles Town Club case that formed the longest civil case ever fought in the Singapore High Court.
