Singapore's roster of exceptional lawyers and rich tapestry of laws have allowed it to keep its crown as a preferred legal hub by businesses and high-profile individuals locally and worldwide.
Singapore Business Review recognises 30 young lawyers who have raised the bar for legal professionals across all fields.
Lawyers on the list advised their clients on matters such as mergers and acquisitions, venture capital investments, IPOs, capital markets, international trade, and even new areas like blockchain.
The awardees also served clients, like OCBC Bank, Bank of America, Jurong Part, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), KPMG LLP, San Miguel Corporation, and the Independent State of Papua New Guinea.
Meet this year's awardees, from the youngest to oldest:
1 Theodore Ang, MSIArb, 30 Withers Khattar Wong LLP

He has acted in matters arising from complex technology and blockchain-related disputes, recently obtaining a first-of-its-kind worldwide proprietary injunction to freeze a non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain.
