About the Donor
The Firm was founded with a vision to build a law firm that delivers effective and efficient legal services to everyone, from the man on the street to large corporations. IRB Law now has over 50 employees. Our size and structure allows us to maintain a highly personalised level of service, whilst enabling us to cover a significant range of service areas across individual and corporate law.
We are able to offer top quality legal services at affordable prices by leveraging technology and falling costs of information. Unlike other law firms, we transfer these cost savings to our clients, which keep our prices very reasonable.
Our areas of practice range from family, probate, criminal, personal injury, and personal debt recovery, to international arbitrations, construction and infrastructure, start-ups, mergers and acquisitions, commercial agreements, asset tracing, and enforcement actions.
The firm's matrimonial practice has dedicated lawyers who regularly undertake both contested and uncontested ancillaries such as divorce, adoption matters, pre-nuptial agreements, division of matrimonial assets and care and control of children.
IRB boasts Singapore’s largest Syariah law practice, advising and representing clients in all aspects of Syariah law, such as wills and inheritance matters and divorce.
Probate and administration is another area of practice that the firm has particular expertise in.
On civil and commercial matters we have represented clients at all levels of the Singapore Courts, including the Court of Appeal. Elsewhere in the world our international arbitration team has been representing large international contractors, companies and consultants in arbitrations in Singapore, Malaysia and the region, as well as in more distant jurisdictions such as India, China and Romania, primarily in construction, infrastructure, engineering, and commercial disputes.
Globally, IRB supports its clients in multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes by leveraging a close network of proven firms, carefully selected for their expertise in the particular area or industry that the client requires.
