Firm overview

Aquinas Law is a medium size boutique law firm comprising over 16 lawyers from Singapore, Malaysia and China. The firm is named after an influential 13th century, philosopher, and legal theorist, St Thomas Aquinas. St. Thomas Aquinas was a highly learned man in his time and shaped much of the thoughts on natural and divine laws. He developed the line of thinking that laws must be directed to the common good, to the happiness that is the goal of human actions. If laws are not for the common good they are unjust and hence not a law. We seek to emulate his qualities of advance thought in the laws and the understanding and implemetation of the laws and how it should serve the common good and his relation of laws to life, with compassion.

At Aquinas Law, we are passionate about delivering the highest quality of legal work and providing efficient solutions to our clients. Our lawyers are committed to our clients and to each other as a team. We work across practice groups to achieve the aims, goals and objectives of our clients combining experience and expertise. We strive for constant self-improvement and pride ourselves on being cost-effective, efficient, responsive and diligent. We also assist our clients to adapt to and understand the business cultures in not only in Singapore, India and China but also in ASEAN. We aim to give you our clients our best and to be the best at what we do.
