Over its ten-year history, the firm has been repeatedly named a finalist in Thomson Reuters' Asian Legal Business (ALB) South East Asia Law Awards, including Singapore Law Firm of the Year and Singapore Litigation Law Firm of the Year in 2025, alongside finalist recognitions across categories including Dispute Resolution Boutique Law Firm, Rising Law Firm, Corporate Citizenship Law Firm, Matrimonial and Family Law Firm, Medical and Healthcare Law Firm, Transactional Boutique Law Firm, and Young Lawyer of the Year.

The firm is certified as a "SmartLaw" Singapore Law Practice, and runs the Community Assist Outreach ("CARe") initiative, offering reduced rates for individuals with monthly household income under S$2,000.

WMH Law Corporation: A Legal 500-Ranked Boutique Firm in Singapore

At Marina One in the heart of Singapore's Downtown Core, WMH Law Corporation has built a decade-long reputation as a boutique firm specialising in dispute resolution and corporate law, with a client list ranging from individuals to a foreign listed company with roughly USD$1 billion in annual turnover.

Recognised by Legal 500 and ALB

WMH's Dispute Resolution practice is ranked by Legal 500, which describes the team as handling "high-stakes, complex commercial and civil litigation in Singapore's courts." Managing Director Wilbur Lim is noted for construction, commercial and defamation work representing individuals, corporations and foreign listed companies, while Hazell Ng is recognised for private wealth disputes. The firm has also been a repeat finalist in Thomson Reuters' ALB South East Asia Law Awards, most recently for Singapore Law Firm of the Year and Singapore Litigation Law Firm of the Year in 2025, alongside finalist nods across categories from Rising Law Firm to Young Lawyer of the Year over the years.

A Founding Story Rooted in Big Four Experience

WMH was established by a group of lawyers formerly from a Singapore Big Four law firm, set up specifically to offer premium legal services at more accessible rates. All three founding partners have themselves been finalists for regional legal awards, and the firm's work has been featured in major publications including The Straits Times, Channel News Asia, The Business Times, Law Gazette and the Chinese press.

Specialised, Niche Practices

Beyond general commercial and dispute work, WMH is one of the few Singapore firms with a dedicated Defamation and Reputation Protection practice — a specialism made more distinctive by the fact that its head also handles construction disputes, giving the firm a particular edge advising construction companies facing defamation claims. WMH also runs one of the only dedicated Art and Cultural Property Law practices in Singapore, advising collectors, institutions, artists, galleries and arts logistics providers on matters from loan agreements to artist representation contracts.

Regional Reach and Technology

Through the WMH Regency network, the firm extends its capabilities into Greater China, Indonesia and Malaysia, positioning itself for cross-border matters. WMH has also been certified as a "SmartLaw" Singapore Law Practice by the Law Society, reflecting its use of legal technology to improve efficiency and reduce client costs.

Community Access Through CARe

As a two-time finalist for Corporate Citizenship Law Firm of the Year, WMH runs the Community Assist Outreach ("CARe") initiative, offering reduced-rate legal services to individuals with a monthly household income under S$2,000, subject to documentary proof. The initiative covers both contentious and non-contentious matters and is handled by one of the firm's associates throughout.
