Trident Law Corporation Singapore

Our exceptional criminal defence team is well known for its devotion. Devotion to details. Devotion to our clients’ causes. Devotion to securing the best outcome for our clients. Led by 2 top criminal defence lawyers, Trident Law’s criminal defence team is well respected for having been at the forefront of several landmark judgments and several “firsts” in Singapore’s legal history. We have handled complicated and complex criminal trials that stretched to almost 100 days in court.

Our expertise spans complex trials involving white-collar crimes such as corruption, corporate fraud, anti-money laundering, and tax evasion. Clients benefit from our unwavering commitment to detail and securing optimal outcomes. 

For over a decade, Trident Law has been regularly instructed by local and overseas based clients to act in matters involving bribery and corruption allegations including those involving foreign public officials, money laundering, tax frauds, insider trading and market manipulations. We have been actively involved in cases originating in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and India.

Our greatest victories have been such cases where investigations do not lead to charges being laid against our clients, thereby averting any reputational damage to our clients.

At Trident Law Corporation, our Corporate Practice is a cornerstone of the firm. We provide full-service legal support across the business lifecycle — from inception and growth to transformation and exit. With extensive experience across key industries and jurisdictions, our team is adept at navigating the evolving regulatory and business environment in Singapore and throughout Asia-Pacific. We maintain strong working relationships with legal counsel across a wide range of foreign jurisdictions, enabling us to support clients effectively on cross-border matters and multi-jurisdictional mandates.

Our thorough and thoughtful due diligence exercises have often uncovered concealed landmines which we then navigate skilfully with our clients, remembering always that we are here to facilitate and not frustrate a deal.

We are presently engaged on retainer by more than 15 active clients, some of whom have been with us for over 20 years. Our clients range from emerging businesses to long-established institutions, and span a broad spectrum of sectors, including fintech, asset management, healthcare, media, insurance, logistics, supply chain, forex, real estate, education and social impact. We have also advised on pre-IPO restructuring for a proposed listing on Bursa Malaysia, a listing on Nasdaq, and acted in transactions involving counterparties listed on the HKEX, SGX Mainboard, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

At Trident Law Corporation, we strongly believe in a holistic approach to dispute resolution and in doing our best to provide our clients with comprehensive and practical solutions. We pride ourselves in “wading into the trenches” and advancing our client’s key interests by crafting considered and often ingenious solutions to resolve their problems in the most cost-effective manner, with as little collateral damage as possible.

Armed with strong dispute resolution skills, our civil and commercial litigation lawyers have successfully acted for individuals, local and foreign companies. Meticulous and perceptive in our assessment of each case, our dispute lawyers craft bespoke and novel strategies. At trial, we punch well above our weight and have even compelled plaintiffs to withdraw their claims during our cross-examination in the High Court.

Over and above our advocacy in Court, we have advised our clients on strategic and pre-emptive planning to avoid and/or minimise their risks of litigation. Our civil litigation lawyers also carry a wealth of experience in alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) mechanisms, including arbitration, mediation, neutral evaluation, conciliation, and negotiations.

Our family lawyers fight for a just cause, rather than fighting just because.

Most people conflate family law with divorce. While divorce may be the mainstay of many family lawyers’ work, family law is so much more.

Our family lawyers handle adoptions, family violence, and juvenile matters, over and above divorce. Probate and administration also fall within the jurisdiction of the Family Justice Courts.

Our approach aligns with the Family Justice Courts' emphasis on therapeutic justice, focusing on solutions that minimize adversarial conflict. In adoption cases, we collaborate with specialized agents to streamline the process, ensuring clients meet the Ministry of Social and Family Development's requirements. At Trident Law, we prioritize the child's welfare, guiding clients to create conducive environments for the child's upbringing.
