Litigation

Partner  

Joycelyn Teoh is a partner in the firm’s litigation department whose practice centres on helping clients navigate complex disputes with clarity and confidence. She works closely with boards, management teams and individuals to understand their commercial and personal priorities, then designs litigation and settlement strategies around those objectives rather than treating cases as purely legal problems.

Her work spans civil and commercial litigation, corporate and shareholders’ disputes, insolvency and restructuring, employment and industrial relations, and contentious probate and estate planning. She is known for breaking down complex facts into clear options, giving frank risk assessments, and mapping out step‑by‑step action plans so clients always know what will happen next and why.

Joycelyn has also acted in a range of high‑value and high‑profile matters, including disputes involving alleged breaches of directors’ duties, fraud and conspiracy to defraud, derivative actions and oppression suits, committal proceedings, and applications involving inspection of company records and banking documents. Clients appreciate her practical, solutions‑driven approach, her responsiveness and her ability to balance legal strength with reputational, regulatory and operational considerations so that strategy aligns with the client’s broader goals.
