Dear All,

Time Flies! We are in the final day of Lunar New Year. I have decided that I should be writing the firm's annual newsletter after Chinese New Year, when everyone is more settled and it will not be snowed under by the rounds of e-greetings.

As we enter into our 3rd year, we transition from creating a tradition of change to establishing one!

REPORT CARD FOR 2014

"Change is the only constant in life." In 2014, we relocated to Tanjong Pagar, just outside of Singapore's business district. From our humble beginnings, we now have a dedicated team of trainee solicitors and admin support. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my team, friends and clients for their unwavering support.
