Career
Karam is one of Tan Kok Quan Partnership’s (TKQP) Senior and Founding Partners. He is also the firm’s Administration Partner.
Prior to joining TKQP, Karam worked with Lee & Lee from 1993 to 2000 and before that, with DBS Bank.
Karam generally practises civil and commercial litigation. While a significant part of his area of practice involves building and construction law, the nature of the commercial disputes that he handles is diverse and covers a wide area of the law.
On the non-contentious front, Karam regularly advises clients on various legal and regulatory issues, and on documentation such as bonds, letters of intent, guarantees, warranties, indemnities, deeds of assignment, insurance policies, the various types of building and consultancy agreements, public-private partnership projects and numerous types of commercial contracts. The contentious side of Karam’s practice regularly sees him appearing in the courts of law, before arbitral tribunals or in adjudications. Karam is also active in promoting non-confrontational dispute resolution procedures where he negotiates settlements on behalf of clients and/or represents them in mediations.
Karam has been recognised as one of the leading lawyers in the fields of Construction Law in Singapore, and Arbitration and Mediation in Singapore by the Best Lawyers since 2014.
Karam was qualified in England and Wales in 1992 and in Singapore in 1994.
