Who We Are 

Avant Law LLC is an award-winning boutique law firm in Singapore that specialized in corporate law and legal solutions for businesses. Our firm was founded by partners who were formerly from Singapore big four law firms and  from Malaysia best law firms.

 

In French, “Avant” means “forward” whereas the firm’s name in Chinese is “恩万” which means "deepest gratitude" (to those who have given us their unwavering support and trust). Such gratitude reminds ourselves to always place our clients' needs first.

We understand the importance of listening to you, identifying your unique needs before working with you to resolve issues and meeting your goals in a practical and efficient manner. By focusing on providing practical and innovative legal strategies, we are committed to bringing the best to you.

As good lawyers in Singapore, we have your best interests at heart.
