Kennedys Legal Solutions pride themselves on helping their clients navigate both business and legal challenges throughout the Asia Pacific region and across multiple practice areas, with focus on commercial disputes. They provide a seamless suite of services across both English and Singapore law which gives Singapore qualified lawyers in the team the opportunity to practice in both jurisdictions at the same time.
The Singapore team has a strong market reputation and punches well above its weight.
