About Yuen Law LLC (源凯律师事务所)

Yuen Law LLC (源凯律师事务所) is a full-service, medium-sized Singapore law practice based at 50 South Bridge Road, working to a simple motto: Forward Thinking, Future Planning. The firm commits to sound, practical and cost-effective legal solutions, delivered through what it describes as a high-touch, empathetic and agile approach, anchored in four core values — Integrity, Honesty, Compassion and Excellence.

Its work is organised into four practice groups. The Corporate Practice advises tech startups, fintech firms and multinationals on incorporation, governance and strategic growth, with particular strength in M&A, private equity, venture capital and cross-border deals. The Disputes Resolution Practice acts for individuals and businesses in litigation, arbitration and mediation — shareholder, property, construction, trust and insurance disputes among them — with a deliberate focus on early resolution strategies. The Private Wealth & Family Practice guides clients through divorce, custody, maintenance, adoption, wills, trusts, lasting powers of attorney and succession planning, while the Integrated Property Practice covers property transactions, leasing and financing, IP registration, and insolvency and restructuring matters.

Around those pillars sits a wide bench of everyday services: criminal defence, employment passes, deed polls, notarisation, commissioner for oaths work, franchising and charity registration. The firm's results have drawn recognition from The Legal 500 Asia Pacific, Chambers Asia Pacific, The Straits Times' Singapore's Best Law Firms, Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific and IFLR1000, and it holds a 4.6-star Google rating across more than 150 reviews, with clients repeatedly praising the team's patience, thoroughness and clear guidance.

Yuen Law LLC: Practical, Full-Service Legal Help on South Bridge Road, Singapore

On the upper floors of 50 South Bridge Road, Yuen Law LLC (源凯律师事务所) runs a full-service, medium-sized law practice with a simple working philosophy: Forward Thinking, Future Planning. The firm describes its offering as sound, practical and cost-effective legal solutions, guided by four core values — Integrity, Honesty, Compassion and Excellence — and delivered through a high-touch, empathetic and agile style of counsel.

That blend matters, because the firm's client base spans an unusual range. In a given week, its lawyers might be structuring a venture capital round for a tech startup, advising a payments company on licensing, acting in a shareholder dispute, or sitting with a family as they prepare wills and lasting powers of attorney.

Four practices under one roof

Yuen Law organises its work into four practice groups. The **Corporate Practice**, co-led by Managing Director Samuel Yuen and Senior Director Kevin Chua, advises tech startups, fintech firms and multinationals on incorporation, governance and strategic growth in Singapore and Asia. Its strengths include M&A, private equity, venture capital and cross-border deals, along with compliance and risk management for regulated sectors — a significant focus given the firm's work with investment funds, payment services and digital assets.

The **Disputes Resolution Practice**, headed by Director Amos Cai, acts for individuals and businesses in litigation, arbitration and mediation. Shareholder, property, construction, trust and insurance disputes all feature, and the team is explicit about pursuing practical outcomes, using early resolution strategies to help clients avoid protracted legal battles.

The **Private Wealth & Family Practice** covers the personal side of life: divorce, custody, maintenance and adoption, alongside wills, trusts, lasting powers of attorney and succession planning for family businesses. The team also manages probate and estate disputes, which the firm says it handles with sensitivity and efficiency.

The **Integrated Property Practice**, led by Associate Director Tris Xavier, completes the picture with legal support on property transactions, leasing and financing across residential, commercial and industrial sectors, plus IP registration and commercialisation and a deep restructuring and insolvency bench covering everything from bankruptcy to judicial management.

Around those four pillars sits a long list of everyday services: employment passes including Tech.Pass, One Pass and EntrePass, deed polls, notarisation, commissioner for oaths services, charity registration, franchising and more.

What clients say

The firm holds a 4.6-star rating across more than 150 Google reviews, and the themes repeat. Clients describe patience over long engagements, thoroughness where complexities are involved, and clear guidance when they didn't know which direction to take. One reviewer praised the team's deep understanding in a challenging Hague Convention international child abduction case; another thanked the lawyers who walked them carefully through the preparation of a will after months of procrastination, with senior members of the team joining the discussions.

Yuen Law's work has drawn steady external recognition. It is ranked in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific for private wealth and family law, listed among ALB's Singapore Firms to Watch, recognised in Chambers Asia Pacific, and recommended by Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific for dispute resolution. The Straits Times has named it among Singapore's Best Law Firms in multiple years, including 2026 for conveyancing, inheritance and succession, private wealth management and financial services regulatory work.
