Due to the sensitive nature of the work, the details of each case cannot be disclosed. However, one example given during the research period was acting for a father in judicial separation proceedings. While the grounds for judicial separation were amicably resolved, parties contested all financial matters. Of note were matrimonial assets bought, sold and re-invested during the course of the marriage as well as the question of indirect contributions for spouses relocating to support each other. In another matter, the team served as lead counsel for the plaintiff wife in an acrimonious divorce trial, ancillary matters hearing and appeal hearings.
Notable corporate clients include Citibank, DBS, HSBC, Maybank, OCBC and Standard Chartered Bank.
