We believe that being in the practice of law enables us to give back to the community in a special way.

Our lawyers regularly use their legal skills to help needy and deserving persons and organisations on a pro bono basis. Our lawyers volunteer with the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS), a scheme aimed at allowing those who are financially disadvantaged to receive free legal representation for non-capital criminal cases, and the Legal Assistance Scheme for Capital Offences (LASCO), which provides free legal representation for capital cases.

In addition, our lawyers also regularly dispense free legal advice and information at various legal clinics, including the Community Legal Clinics (CLCs) organized by The Law Society of Singapore, the legal clinics organized and run by the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) and the State Courts’ HELP Centre.
