About Goh JP & Wong LLC

Goh JP & Wong LLC is a Singapore law firm founded in 2000, based at Chinatown Point on New Bridge Road, offering personalised legal services helmed by a team of lawyers with more than 20 years of experience. The firm's dedication to personalised service and finding the best solutions for clients has earned it a loyal client base ranging from individuals to SMEs and large corporations.

The firm's philosophy is built on experience, respect and results — treating every case as important as any other, giving each matter close personal attention, and working closely with clients to explore options and find the best resolution for their needs.

The firm is led by Director and co-founder Goh Teck Wee, who holds an LLB (Hons) from the National University of Singapore and was called to the Bar in 1995. His practice spans both civil and criminal litigation, with wide and diverse experience across insurance claims, contractual disputes between main contractors and subcontractors, landlord-tenant disputes, and criminal offences. He has a special emphasis on personal injury claim litigation, handling motor accident and industrial accident claims.

Goh Teck Wee's litigation work includes a case involving a senior medical practitioner injured in a motor accident, where he successfully resisted two appeals by the insurers to reduce the damages awarded, at both the High Court and Court of Appeal level. This case, Tan Boon Heng v Lau Pang Cheng David [2013] SGCA 48, was the first instance in which the Court of Appeal laid down the guiding principles and appropriate standard for when an award of damages may be reversed by a higher court on appeal.
