13 new law firms appear on the list for first time

In this sixth edition of the annual series, 13 new law firms appeared on the list for the first time, up from 10 firms last year.

Centurion Law director Favian Kang, whose firm was a new entrant, said: “Over the years, I have had the opportunity to represent defendants and the privilege of assisting in the administration of justice in cases of significant interest.”

These include Singapore’s biggest money laundering case of $3 billion, leading to multiple arrests in 2023, and a 2013 case involving rioting in Little India.

He said: “Regardless of the nature of the case or the personalities involved, my approach is always the same - to work hard, respect the process, and provide effective representation.”

Mr Kang, who has represented Singapore in competitive sports, said his background in martial arts instilled in him the “qualities of discipline, dedication and respect, which I channel into every case I handle. I am very grateful for the trust, support and recognition. I am happy to do my job and give my best every day”.

Another new entrant, Justin Chan Chambers, is a boutique law firm specialising in family law and civil litigation. It has also represented members of the expatriate community in Singapore.

Mr Justin Chan, the managing partner, said: “Along with being committed to presenting your case at its highest, I also strive to establish longstanding and mutually rewarding relationships with my clients. Most have become friends.

“As a relatively young firm of just two years and six lawyers, we are deeply honoured to be recognised alongside so many established names in the profession. We take great pride in our work across both family law and civil litigation. Advances in work management software and AI allow us to do law differently, relying less on manpower, and being more focused on deliverables and client engagement.”
