Clear counsel for complex moments.
Most people who call us are not lawyers, and they are usually calling on the worst week of their year. Our job is to explain where you actually stand, what the law allows, and what happens next — then argue it properly. We have practised from Chinatown Point for years, in the courts a short walk away.
Six practice areas. One principal on every file.
Criminal Defence
Charges move faster than most people expect. We read the prosecution's file the way they read it, test what can be tested, and tell you plainly which arguments will hold in a State Court and which will not.
Intellectual Property and Technology
Trade marks, copyright, confidential information, and the software, licensing and data agreements beneath them. Protection is mostly careful drafting done early — enforcement is what happens when the early work was skipped.
Family & Matrimonial
Divorce, maintenance, custody, division of matrimonial assets. Resolution over escalation wherever it is possible — and firm advocacy when the other side leaves no other route.
Immigration
Long-term visit passes, residency, appeals, and the paperwork nobody warns you about. Most immigration outcomes turn on how the file is assembled, not how loudly it is argued.
Employment
Contracts, wrongful dismissal, salary and MOM claims, restrictive covenants. We act for employers and employees, and we say at the outset which side of a dispute we can take.
Wills & Probate
Drafting wills, applying for grants of probate and letters of administration, and untangling estates where the paperwork was never quite finished.

Confidentiality means we cannot show you the cases we are proudest of. What we can tell you is how we work: the principal reads every file, you speak to the lawyer arguing your matter, and nobody hands your case to a junior three days before a hearing.
We do not promise outcomes. We do promise an honest assessment at the first meeting — including the times we say your matter is not worth litigating, or that another firm is better placed for it. That advice costs us fees and saves clients a great deal more.
