An Introduction to Criminal Law

Being investigated or charged with a criminal offence can be stressful and disruptive for individuals and corporations alike. When faced with the threat of criminal proceedings, it is crucial to have the right legal support from the start.

This gives us a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system and a strategic perspective on how best to protect your rights. We have extensive experience advising and representing clients, with a strong track record of securing favourable outcomes.

We guide clients through every stage of the criminal process, including:

  • Pre-investigation advice and strategy
  • Representation during police investigations
  • Bail applications
  • Out of court negotiations
  • Representations for withdrawal or reduction of charges
  • Defence at trial
  • Mitigation pleas
  • Appeals
  • Private prosecutions and related civil claims

We handle both white-collar and blue-collar criminal matters, including:

If you have been arrested, you should seek advice from a criminal lawyer in Singapore as soon as possible. The police may hold you in custody for up to 48 hours, after which they must apply for an order from the Magistrate for further detention. If released, you may be placed on police bail and required to report for further questioning or attend court when instructed.
