Overview

Full-service firm Advocatus Law has been on the scene for over 15 years now. Its dispute resolution offering is a pillar of strength that other areas have branched out from, including corporate and transactions-related work, real estate, regulatory compliance, risk management and IP. The team is known for its strategic approach to high-profile cases, particularly in the banking sector. The experienced litigators had nine reported High Court and Court of Appeal decisions as of early 2024 involving a panoply of issues such as insolvency, fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, professional negligence, misrepresentation and crime. The team has also been involved in various high-profile insolvency cases, including those of Hin Leong Trading and Three Arrows Capital. The firm maintains strong links to various networks around the region. For example, Advocatus Law is a long-standing member of the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the International Trademark Association. It is also a member of the Alliott Global Alliance and the Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation and Technology Association.  

Managing partner Christopher Daniel heads the team that includes partners Harjean Kaur, Ganga Avadiar, Mervyn Cheong, Priyalatha Naidu and Eileen Yeo. Daniel notably has a strong insurance practice, while Cheong has a specialist certificate in intangible asset management.
