Dispute Resolution:

Yuen Law represents individual and organisational clients on either end of a dispute or lawsuit. For clients pursuing a claim, it will objectively assess the case and advise the best course of action: to sue, negotiate, mediate or arbitrate. For clients being sued, its lawyers will mount a robust defence and/or work towards reaching the most acceptable resolution. The firm's experienced lawyers handle complex litigation cases at all levels of the Singapore courts. It litigates for cases including shareholder disputes, construction claims, property law claims, debt recovery, medical negligence, equity and trust claims, and insurance matters. As protracted lawsuits can entail a financial and emotional toll, it advises clients if there are more preferable solutions, such as taking the arbitration or mediation route.
