In Singapore, Yuen Law has established a strong presence for disputes in both the commercial and family law spheres. The firm’s dispute resolution group is led by directors Amos Cai and Denise Teo. Both specialize in complex commercial litigation and arbitration. The team has successfully represented clients, including fund management companies and biotech firms, in high-stakes disputes involving contract negotiations and shareholder conflicts. The firm handles over 130 contentious matters annually, with a particular focus on cases with cross-border elements and issues of fiduciary duty.
In one highlight, the team acted for Lotte Confectionary and helped it successfully obtain a judgement against one of its retailers for breach of distribution agreement. In another matter, the Yuen Law lawyers defended Eon Reality against the claims of one of its employees seeking commission payments and unpaid salary. The firm helped its client win the battle, successfully arguing that the contractual intention did not support an employee's entitlement to commission for projects that incurred significant losses.
In the family law arena, Yuen Law is recognized for its expertise in navigating sensitive and complex family matters. This practice is led by director Lim Fung Peen. The firm addresses issues such as divorce, custody disputes and financial settlements for high-net-worth individuals. Key cases include successful negotiations for favorable terms in separation agreements and representation in high-profile custody disputes.
