About

Provided by Withers

In Singapore, Withers KhattarWong is one of the largest international law firms in the region. We provide the full range of private client legal services from estate planning, immigration, commercial interests to the resolution of family and inheritance disputes, delivered by a team of US, UK, India, Hong Kong, BVI, and Singapore qualified lawyers. Clients benefit from our ability to provide integrated, practical international advice in their time zone. Our quick turnaround time and cutting edge advice is what some of our clients tell us our competitors cannot offer.

What further differentiates us is that we achieve the optimal tax outcomes for clients by structuring both their business and family investments. We advise extensively on the setting up of family offices in Singapore, investments using trusts and other vehicles, deal with tax issues arising from divorce, marriages, and death by avoiding ‘double tax’ on inheritance.

Our core services are Singapore tax, UK tax, US tax, international tax, trusts, wills and probate, and personal and corporate immigration.

We are also one of the few international law firms in Singapore which provides services in both contentious (disputes) and non-contentious matters such as tax disputes, attacks on trusts, claims against executors and administrators, claims against trustees, Inheritance Act claims, negligent will drafting, restructuring of trusts and will and legacy disputes.
