Anti Money Laundering

Our team has deep and wide ranging experience in anti-money laundering matters, advising on some of the most prominent and complex cases in Singapore. We have acted for sovereign governments in high stakes asset recovery, including having represented the government of the Philippines in recovering some of the money plundered by former President Marcos and deposited into bank accounts in Singapore, and defended Yeo Jia Wei in the only criminal prosecution in Singapore connected with the 1MDB scandal. Our lawyers have held leadership roles in regulatory bodies and professional committees, such as Anti-Money Laundering unit at the Commercial Affairs Department and Anti-Money Laundering Committee of the Law Society of Singapore. This hands-on regulatory experience enables us to guide clients through evolving compliance requirements with practical, informed advice.
