Dispute Resolution

Built by our founder, Harry Elias in 1988, our litigation practice is widely regarded for its depth of experience, considered approach and excellence in advocacy, and remains one of Singapore's leading dispute resolution practices. Known for its incisive legal analysis and sharp courtroom advocacy, our team is regularly instructed on complex, high-stakes and precedent-setting matters.

These capabilities are rooted in a culture of advocacy excellence established by Mr Elias. That legacy continues today through structured advocacy and negotiation workshops conceived by Mr Elias and still conducted by our litigation partners, ensuring that each new generation of lawyers from this Firm, benefits from the same rigorous training and commitment to excellence in advocacy, that have long distinguished the Firm.

Our services include representing local and international individuals, banks, financial institutions and corporations in:

• Banking and financial disputes
• Construction disputes
• Contractual disputes
• Defamation actions
• Family/child, estate and trust disputes
• Judicial review
• Land disputes
• Minority oppression in companies and applications under the Companies Act
• Tortious disputes including medical and professional negligence

We understand that often it is in the interests of our clients to negotiate commercial settlements or resolve disputes through mediation. Our dispute teams practise mediation advocacy to manage disputes and move matters to a commercial resolution wherever possible. Our lawyers are trained mediators accredited as Principal and Associate Mediators with the Singapore Mediation Centre.
