**"Justice. Our Business. Our Calling."** That is how Eugene Thuraisingam Asia LLC describes the work it does from its office at #07-06 The Adelphi, 1 Coleman Street, in Singapore. The line sets the tone for a firm that is rooted in criminal defence and brings that same tenacity to commercial litigation and international arbitration — acting for clients in complex business disputes, white-collar matters and cross-border cases where clear, strategic guidance matters most.
The firm is recognised as a leading criminal defence practice in Singapore. Its team defends all types of criminal offences, from high-stakes matters such as violent crimes, sexual crimes and capital offences to complex white-collar cases involving fraud, bribery and corruption. It is known in particular for its expertise in criminal trials and appeals, and its lawyers have acted in some of Singapore's most significant landmark cases. Whatever the matter, the commitment is the same: strong and effective representation at every stage.
Criminal defence may be the firm's foundation, but its litigation practice specialises in commercial and civil disputes, and it is regularly instructed to handle complex, high-value litigation conducted in the Supreme Court of Singapore. The team has achieved notable successes in cases concerning contractual, employment, tort, construction, insolvency, shareholder and other business disputes, adopting a practical and commercially informed approach to resolving matters efficiently while safeguarding clients' interests.
Beyond the courtroom, the firm's expertise spans asset protection and recovery, bankruptcy and insolvency, private client matters, employment disputes, and crisis management and contentious investigations — a toolkit designed, as the firm puts it, to give clients the advantage "in the courtroom, boardroom, or anywhere the fight takes us."
With offices in Bangkok and Singapore, the firm's international arbitration practice handles complex cross-border disputes across Asia and beyond. Its lawyers have experience under major arbitration institutions and rules, including the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (SCMA) and the UNCITRAL rules. That regional footprint and capability is matched by multilingual proficiency — the firm's site itself operates in English, Simplified Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia.
The firm describes itself as award-winning and peer-recognised, and the record bears that out. It has been recognised by Chambers, The Legal 500, asialaw and The Straits Times, and features in the Benchmark Litigation Singapore 2026 rankings. Founding Partner Eugene Thuraisingam and Managing Partner Suang Wijaya have both been recognised in Best Lawyers in Singapore, and the firm has been ranked exclusively as a First Tier leading criminal defence law firm in Doyle's Guide 2026.
The firm introduces its lawyers as "strategists, tacticians, trial advocates" — trusted disputes lawyers who handle complex matters with focus, precision and discipline.
