Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution Practice (LDRP) is committed to strategically protecting and enforcing clients’ legal rights and best interests in accordance with the law, with 24/7 responsiveness and 80/20 (pareto) effectiveness, at reasonable and affordable costs to clients.

We offer a full range of civil litigation services, advising on and dealing with claims, disputes and contentious matters relating to banking, insurance, building and construction, commercial contracts, property transactions, tenancy, employment, professional negligence and malpractice, professional misconduct, intellectual property, insolvency, land acquisitions, corporations, shareholders, family, trust, probate, and defamation.

Since March 2010, a dedicated Medico-Legal Practice Group (MLPG) was formed as a subsidiary of our LDRP to build up our existing portfolio of medico-legal work, so as to meet the increasingly complex legal needs of the healthcare industry professionals in the light of rising claims and complaints by better educated public, and growing claims and disputes involving healthcare establishments, pharmaceutical corporations and manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices. Our MLPG is believed to be the first such strategic initiative among local law firms.

The uniqueness of our MLPG lies in its capacity to provide one-stop legal advice on regulatory compliance involving the following legislation:

MLPG also:

• represents and defends individuals and/or corporations that are under investigations or facing prosecution for penal or statutory offences under the above legislation;
• represents and defends medical, dental, pharmaceutical and TCM professionals who are facing proceedings before disciplinary tribunals, health committees, or Coroner’s Inquiry under relevant legislation;
• advises and assists medical, dental, pharmaceutical and TCM professionals in the expeditious and amicable resolution of monetary claims by patients, and defend these professionals in civil courts if formal legal proceedings become necessary; and
• advises and assists corporations in the business of medical, dental, pharmaceutical and other health-related products and services, supplies and technology in cases of opposition of trademarks and patents, and in commercial and tortious litigation.

Our LDRP specialises in the practice of public law, criminal law and procedure, and military law. Our Partner-in-charge has the rare and unique blend of bench, prosecution and defence experience to advise, represent and defend individuals and corporations accused of serious crimes, white collar crimes, regulatory or departmental offences, or military offences in any Singapore court of competent jurisdiction. We also have the expertise to act for government ministries, statutory boards, corporations or individuals in State-sanctioned prosecution or private prosecution of penal or statutory offences.

We also practise alternative dispute resolution such as mediation, arbitration and adjudication.
