Provided by Christopher Chuah Law Chambers

Christopher Chuah Law Chambers LLC (CCLC) was established in October 2023 by Managing Director Christopher Chuah and four former colleagues from one of the Big Four law firms in Sinfapore. Within two years, the firm has more than doubled in size, reflecting steady growth and a positive reception from the market.

We combine the depth and sector expertise of a larger firm with the agility and responsiveness of a boutique practice. Our team advises on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters, with particular focus on construction, infrastructure, and commercial matters. We have acted in complex matters before all levels of the Singapore Courts and are regularly engaged in local and regional arbitrations.

Beyond dispute resolution, we support clients across the full project lifecycle, from the inception of the project to its conclusion. Our cross-border experience includes advisory and claims work in jurisdictions such as Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Maldives.
