Team Services

Our Integrated Property Group provides robust legal counsel across the domains of insolvency and restructuring, intellectual property, and real estate. Led by Associate Director Tris Xavier, our team of practitioners helps clients protect their tangible and intangible assets.

We advise individuals and businesses facing financial distress, helping them navigate complex legal proceedings or enter a scheme of arrangement to restructure debts. On the flip side, our practitioners can also act for creditors in enforcing their claims, to minimise losses.

Amid Singapore’s thriving technology and business ecosystem, brands and products require protection as they enter global markets. Yuen Law helps businesses to safeguard their intellectual property, by registration of intellectual property rights, managing international portfolios to keep IPRs in good standing, technology commercialisation, and licensing.

We help clients navigate investment deals, sale and purchase transactions, leasing agreements, and other matters in relation to residential, commercial, or industrial real estate. We can represent developers, landowners, real estate holding companies, landlords, tenants, buyers, trusts, financial institutions, and borrowers.
