Clement Tan

I am a Counsel in our international Employment group based in Singapore. I also have extensive experience in a wide range of corporate commercial disputes, and have represented clients at all levels of the Singapore judicial system and arbitrations.

I have previously acted in matters involving white collar crime, employment disputes, minority oppression cases, contractual disputes, defamation claims and construction cases. Prior to joining the firm, I was appointed Head of the White Collar and Investigations practice at a Singapore joint law venture.

I enjoyed a six-year stint as a District Judge in the State Courts of Singapore. There, I had the opportunity to preside over both civil and criminal cases and have, over the years, penned numerous written judgments. I also served as a judge in the Subordinate Military Courts from 2018 to 2021. I can offer clients a unique perspective, from my prior experiences as a practitioner and judge.

I am the contributing editor for the Practitioner's Guide on Damages Awarded for Defamation Cases in Singapore (2019, Academy Publishing), as well as a contributing editor of the Singapore Civil Procedure.
