Central Chambers Law Corporation (Main office)

Central Chambers was established in2002 by a small number of legalpractitioners unified by a belief infurthering the tradition of a nobleprofession and building an institutionaround it. That belief was perpetuatedwith each joining legal practitionerbringing on board wide-rangingexpertise and experience. The StatutoryBoards, government agencies,corporations and organisations ofdifferent sizes and profiles provided thefoundation upon which CentralChambers was built. Their legal issues,problems and challenges were thebuilding blocks over the years. Witheach Court session, each contractcreated and each corporate legalsolution formulated, the guiding principleof performance with excellence andintegrity became sacrosanct. Whether itbe legal expertise to multinationalcompanies, government agencies,families or individuals, that guidingprinciple must always be paramount.

At Central Chambers, legal expertisehas over the years been dispensed withthe professional integrity expected of theLegal Profession Act in Singapore andtogether with the qualities widelyassociated with the profession. Themore than thirty personnel comprisingLawyers, Legal Managers and supportstaff are constantly reminded of thatguiding principle to deliver legalexpertise with excellence and integrity.

We have completed our first 10 years in2012 and look forward to developing thePractice further in as many wayspossible.

The founding philosophy of CentralChambers as originally charted by thefounding practitioners had been full legalexpertise. This philosophy has beenupheld and the different areas of the lawand practice that have spawned withtime are set out in the pages that follow.
