Raj began his legal career as a litigator, passionately advocating for his clients at all levels of the Singapore courts. To satisfy his interest in commercial dealings, he pivoted to corporate practice, where he now focuses on helping clients close deals and mitigate dispute risks.
He advises on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters, including mergers and acquisitions, fundraising and investments, corporate governance and employment. Known for his strategic insight and pragmatic problem solving, Raj adeptly navigates complex transactions and legal challenges, ensuring seamless and successful outcomes for his clients.
Outside of work, Raj serves on the Football Association of Singapore’s Ethics Committee. When he’s not lamenting over how poorly his favourite football club is doing, he enjoys sharing a drink (or three) with his friends or clients, both of whom are one and the same.
