Singapore's 40 most influential lawyers aged 40 and under in 2015

Guess who made the cut.

Singapore's most influential lawyers aged 40 and under is now on its second year! Due to the overwhelming response to the inaugural list aimed at identifying the city's power elite in the legal sector, Singapore Business Review doubled the number of lawyers to 40 this year.

The list recognizes the 40 young lawyers in the city-state who have shaped the legal industry inside and outside the courtroom, or on the negotiating table. They were selected from a hundred nominees based on three main criteria: thought leadership, influence, and success.

Lawyers who have risen through the ranks to secure themselves top level positions at their respective law firms had the advantage in the selection process. Next to them are those who made a name by acting on some of the country’s most controversial cases or advising on one of the major transaction deals in Singapore or abroad. Some may be familiar names as they are most sought after for their legal inputs on certain public and corporate issues.

They are arranged from the youngest to the oldest.
