CHP Law is a Singapore full-service firm distinguished by the breadth of its integrated commercial offering, bringing together corporate transactions, financial regulation, dispute resolution, restructuring, employment, intellectual property and real estate. The firm is particularly well placed to handle mandates that cross traditional practice boundaries, including cryptocurrency restructurings, distressed investments, technology-related disputes and the commercialisation of intellectual assets. Its expanded disputes bench, specialist-led practice groups and move to larger premises reflect a growing platform equipped for increasingly complex work.

A defining feature of the practice is its ability to combine transactional, regulatory and contentious advice within a single engagement. The corporate team works closely with specialists in restructuring, intellectual property, employment and financial regulation, enabling clients to address legal, commercial and compliance considerations in a coordinated way. This multidisciplinary approach is particularly valuable for businesses operating in heavily regulated sectors or those navigating periods of growth, investment, financial distress or technological change.

The dispute resolution and restructuring practices have become increasingly prominent, particularly in matters involving digital assets, insolvency, fraud, investment funds and cross-border commercial disputes. The team is recognised for its ability to manage both contentious proceedings and the wider commercial and restructuring issues that often accompany them. This capability is complemented by strong relationships with insolvency practitioners, investors, alternative lenders and other stakeholders involved in distressed situations.

Intellectual property and intangible assets form another distinguishing pillar of the platform. Rather than focusing solely on protection and enforcement, the practice advises on the strategic use, licensing and commercialisation of intellectual assets, often supporting clients whose business models are built around technology, innovation and data. In parallel, the firm's financial-services regulatory capability has grown alongside Singapore's development as a digital-assets and fintech hub, advising both traditional financial institutions and emerging market participants.

The firm also maintains established employment and real-estate practices that complement its wider commercial offering. Employment lawyers frequently work alongside the disputes and corporate teams on senior executive departures, investigations, restructurings and workplace disputes, while the real-estate group supports investment, development and financing transactions involving both conventional and specialised assets.

Managing director Christopher Huang leads the firm's corporate, M&A and tax practice, while director Raj Mannar advises on corporate transactions, commercial matters and employment issues. The disputes bench was strengthened in 2025 with the arrival of directors Ann Liang Ang and Yi Mei Chong, adding further depth in commercial litigation, international arbitration, employment, construction and regulatory disputes. Specialist practices are led by Dixon Soh in intellectual property and intangible assets, Ian Phung in financial-services regulation and Ching Chern Tan in real estate.
