Christopher Bridges Law Corporation is a litigation firm on the eighth floor of Manhattan House on Chin Swee Road, Chinatown, just outside Chinatown MRT. It is a commercial and criminal litigation firm, with affiliated offices elsewhere in Asia. The website lists its practice areas as dispute resolution, litigation and arbitration, criminal law, business and commercial law, fintech, family law, and cross-border work, particularly in the ASEAN region.
The firm says it tries to settle disputes early through negotiation where it can, and that it keeps clients updated throughout. For criminal matters, it describes arguing for a lighter sentence and building a defence where one exists. Advice is available in English, Mandarin, Malay and several Chinese dialects. A consultation can be requested through the website.
Customers say the lawyers explain the consequences and options clearly, and that they respond quickly. One client had investment contract issues sorted out, and another had a neighbour harassment case handled with a clear action plan. Customers describe the lawyers as efficient, straight to the point, and professional in their advice.
