Yuen Law is pleased to announce that we have once again been recognised as a Recommended Firm in the 2025 edition of Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific rankings. This year not only reaffirms out standing but also highlights a year of meaningful growth, improved rankings, and newly earned individual accolades for our dedicated and dynamic teams. We are honoured that our work continues to receive recognition from clients and peers alike.
Our Private Wealth & Family Practice Group has seen an improvement in its ranking for Family and Matrimonial matters, advancing from Tier 3 to Tier 2. Equally notable, Our Disputes Resolution Practice Group advanced from Tier 5 to Tier 4 in Commercial and Transaction matters. These advancements underscore our firm’s capabilities and deepened expertise across both commercial and civil disputes.
We are also pleased to share that Lim Fung Peen, Director and Head of our Private Wealth & Family Practice, maintains his ranking as a Litigation Star in Family and Matrimonial matters. This recognition is a testament to his long-standing expertise, empathy, and advocacy in handling a broad spectrum of complex family disputes.
Speaking on the team’s work in high-conflict family matters, Fung Peen remarked:
In addition, Amos Cai, Director and Head of the Disputes Resolution Practice, has been newly recognised as a Future Star for his work in Commercial and Transaction matters. This marks his first appearance in Benchmark Litigation’s individual rankings, a notable milestone that reflects his dedication to delivering client-focused solutions and his commitment to legal excellence.
About Our Private Wealth & Family Practice
Led by Director Lim Fung Peen, our Private Wealth & Family Practice Group has earned a reputation for clarity, compassion, and legal precision in handling complex, high-conflict family and matrimonial matters. The team offers end-to-end advisory and representation in areas such as divorce, custody, maintenance, domestic violence, adoption, and estate planning disputes.
Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, expatriates, and families with multi-jurisdictional footprints, who trust us to resolve deeply personal legal challenges with discretion and care. We have carved a niche in handling cross-border family disputes, including relocation applications, international child abduction, and POHA matters, frequently collaborating with overseas counsel and government authorities.
In the past year, the team has handled matrimonial and family disputes involving cross-border issues and high-value asset divisions.
Case Highlights
At the heart of our Private Wealth & Family Practice is an approach rooted in therapeutic justice, focusing on both the legal and emotional aspects of family matters. We recognise that family disputes often involve deeply personal and sensitive issues, so we prioritise mediation, private negotiation, and amicable settlements wherever possible. By fostering understanding and communication between parties, we aim to find solutions that serve the best interests of our clients and their families.
However, we are also prepared to take decisive action when necessary, advocating firmly in court to safeguard our clients’ rights and interests. In such cases, we focus on securing the most favourable outcome, drawing on our deep legal expertise to ensure our clients are fully supported throughout the process.
About Our Disputes Resolution Practice
Led by Directors Amos Cai and Denise Teo, and supported by Associate Director Lim Yun Heng, Yuen Law’s Disputes Resolution Team handles a wide range of civil and commercial litigation, arbitration, and regulatory matters.
In line with our fast-growing practice, we recently welcomed two new consultants to the team: P. Padman, a highly regarded figure in international commercial arbitration, and Benedict Eoon, who brings specialised expertise in commercial disputes and white-collar crime. Their appointments have further strengthened our capability to advise on contentious matters across various industries, which is critical given the significant increase in cross-border disputes, breaches of fiduciary duties, director misconduct, shareholder disputes, and construction arbitration over the past year.
On the team’s recognition and growing portfolio, Amos said:
“At Yuen Law, we understand that each dispute is unique, and we approach each matter with a tailored strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. This recognition underscores the trust our clients place in us, and we are proud to continue strengthening our capabilities in dispute resolution.”
Case Highlights
Our Disputes Resolution Team continues to grow in depth and capability through active participation in key industry events, including the recent 8th IBA Asia Pacific Regional Forum Biennial Conference in Hong Kong and the 2025 IBA Litigation Forum in Singapore. These platforms enable us to stay current with emerging trends, regulatory developments, and best practices in dispute resolution across the Asia-Pacific region.
