Top Litigation Lawyers in Singapore

Where can you find the top litigation lawyers in Singapore?

While it is true that Senior Counsel are experienced litigation lawyers, and that they are one of the best litigation lawyers, one must note that they are fairly expensive, with rates of S$1,000 upwards per hour.

Senior Counsels also need to lead large teams so the aggregate hourly rate would be in the few thousands.

In the City Harvest Trial, it was reported that legal fees ran up to S$15 million.
