Making a difference
The Straits Times
|October 30, 2025
In a legal landscape often defined by commercial success and courtroom victories, Singapore law firms are also making an impact in the community for their pro bono services and charity-related legal advice. Here is a look at how some of these top-ranked firms are giving back.
The firm actively assists charities with governance, compliance, and creative legal strategies, with its lawyers regularly conducting workshops and legal talks.
ADSAN LAW
In May, Adsan hosted a conference bringing together legal professionals, corporate leaders and sustainability advocates to explore how legal frameworks can support environmental goals. It was organised in conjunction with national environmental movement Go Green SG and SG60 to mark Singapore's 60th year of independence.
"Our recognition in this space is a deeply humbling affirmation of our belief that law is, at its heart, a service to the community," said Adsan Law chief executive officer Susan Peh.
In 2025, the firm was conferred the Company of Good (COG) - Two Hearts recognition in a national initiative spearheaded by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). The initiative recognises numerous organisations in various sectors that integrate corporate purpose with community impact.
