PKWA Law is esteemed as one of Singapore’s premier family law firms, boasting a proficient team of attorneys who specialise in divorce, family law, wills and probate. It was established over two decades ago and has now grown to a team of more than 100 professionals serving diverse legal areas. The firm has established a commendable track record across various practice areas, including conveyancing, child custody, division of matrimonial assets, maintenance, separation, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, inheritance law, mental capacity act deputyship, adoption, and insurance.
Under the leadership of head of general litigation and family law Chong Boon Lim, the firm comprises 11 dedicated family law specialists. Key personnel include Dorothy Tan, the deputy head of family law, and Jin Liang Low, the deputy co-head of family law.
PKWA has achieved significant milestones, having successfully secured two pivotal Court of Appeal decisions for its clients regarding the division of matrimonial assets. Notably, one of these cases marked a landmark decision in Singapore, addressing the newly enacted law on matrimonial asset division. It is uncommon for firms specializing in matrimonial law to engage in Court of Appeal cases, yet PKWA has maintained an impeccable record with two wins out of two.
The firm also counts several prominent corporate clients among its roster such as Citibank, DBS, HSBC, Maybank, OCBC, and Standard Chartered Bank.
