Firm overview

Established 1883
Braddell Brothers LLP is Singapore's second-oldest independent law practice, founded in 1883 by the sons of Sir Thomas Braddell, the first Attorney-General of Singapore. Prominent alumni include retired Supreme Court Judges and Attorneys-General, as well as a former Minister for Law.

‘Unique Boutique’ Specialist Disputes Counsel
Given our established reputation as a leading Litigation, Arbitration and Dispute Resolution practice despite our compact size, we have been aptly dubbed Singapore’s “unique boutique” by the Legal 500. We act for private clients and corporations alike in high-stakes cases of a scale and complexity familiar to leading Singapore and multinational law firms. We thrive on difficult civil, corporate and commercial disputes and complex international arbitrations under the SIAC, ICC, UNCITRAL and other rules.

Conflict-Free
In contrast to certain multinational or multidisciplinary law firms, we are a “pure” disputes firm, without any transactional or corporate departments. We are therefore practically conflict-free and able to act against multinational financial institutions and corporations, and even States. We are therefore frequently brought in by international and local firms to co-counsel complex litigation and arbitrations in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.

Case Strategists & Problem-Solvers
We don’t just look for ‘the win’ in Court or arbitration, but also achieving that outcome efficiently in terms of time and expense, all the while ensuring a positive perception in the crucible of public opinion and the media. We therefore manage disputes holistically, by considering every aspect from a 360-degree perspective. More information on our 360-Degree Dispute Management approach is available on our website: www.braddellbrothers.com

Virtual Advocacy & Video Hearings
Our counsel regularly appear in video arbitration and court hearings, as well as mediations, having received training in virtual hearing advocacy i.e. techniques for making persuasive video submissions to courts and tribunals, as well as examining and cross-examining witnesses effectively, over video-link.

International Reach & LEGALINK
We have international reach. We work closely with a variety of firms in other jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia and Russia. Also, being a member of LEGALINK www.legalink.ch, a global network of over 70 leading independent law firms comprising more than 3,500 legal professionals, we are able to collaborate closely with trusted, experienced overseas colleagues on any case that would benefit from their legal expertise.

Awards & Accolades
Our firm and its counsel have received accolades, awards and rankings in a variety of legal directories, among them: Legal 500 (Asia Pacific), Chambers & Partners (Asia-Pacific & Global), AsiaLaw, Best Lawyers, Who’s Who Legal and Benchmark (Asia-Pacific).

Overview

Founded in 1883, Braddell Brothers is one of Singapore’s oldest independent law practices that exclusively focuses on dispute resolution.

The firm regularly advises financial institutions, high net-worth individuals and clients in the energy, real estate and healthcare sectors. Apart from counsel work, the partners are presently handling seven arbitration cases as arbitrator seated in various forums around the region.
