Braddell Brothers LLP is
Singapore's third-oldest law practice, founded in 1883 by the sons of the first
Attorney-General of Singapore. Among our
alumni are 5 former Supreme Court Judges / Judicial Commissioners (two of whom
were Chief Justice), one former Minister for Law and 2 former
Attorneys-General.
We are today a boutique
Litigation, Arbitration and Corporate practice, specialising in high-end,
complex civil and commercial litigation, criminal litigation and international
arbitrations (e.g. SIAC, ICC, UNCITRAL) in Singapore, Jakarta and the
Asia-Pacific region. Our Mr Kronenburg
also sits as an arbitrator in international commercial disputes.
Difficult
and complex cases
We punch well above our
weight. Difficult and complex cases are
our mainstay. Our lawyers have
experience representing both private clients and corporations alike, in
high-stakes and difficult cases ordinarily regarded as the private reserve of
Singapore’s largest law firms and specialist dispute resolution practices. We have expertise in Mareva (freezing) and
other injunctions. We are often referred
work by Singapore’s largest dispute resolution firms when they cannot act due
to a conflict of interests.
International
Reach
We also work closely with a variety of international firms, particularly
in New York, Chicago, London, Hong Kong and Jakarta. We have also, in
appropriate cases, instructed Queen’s Counsel to provide opinions, as well as
to appear on an ad-hoc basis in the Singapore courts on highly sensitive and
complex disputes.
Our Civil / Commercial
Disputes practice handles commercial & contract litigation, international
& domestic arbitration, corporate & shareholders' disputes, corporate
insolvency & restructuring, medical negligence, banking & financial
services litigation, employment disputes and complex / cross-border matrimonial
and custody disputes. We also act for the Singapore Medical Council in in
professional disciplinary hearings.
Our Corporate &
Commercial practice handles general corporate work as well as advisory,
regulatory and compliance work for companies, charities, societies and NGOs.
Our Criminal Law practice handles commercial offences (e.g. under the Prevention
of Corruption Act, Securities & Futures Act and Computer Misuse Act), major
crimes (e.g. under the Penal Code, Kidnapping Act, Misuse of Drugs Act) as well
as capital cases. Our lawyers have also
acted for detainees under the Internal Security Act and in courts-martial pursuant
to the Singapore Armed Forces Act and Enlistment Act. We have also advised on extradition and anti-money-laundering
measures.
