Raj started his legal career as a litigator advancing his clients’ interests in the Singapore courts. Having decided to make the switch to corporate practice for his personal development, he now spends his time helping clients get their deals done and keeping them as far away from the courtroom as possible.
With his background in litigation, Raj is especially sensitive to potential risk elements in the deals that he advises on and works with his clients to identify and navigate such concerns. A practical problem-solver, Raj often assures his clients that it is his job to do the worrying for them.
Outside of work, Raj is a member of the Football Association of Singapore’s Committee of Ethics – an appointment that some football supporters may struggle to come to terms with given that he is an ardent supporter of Manchester United.
He is also known to appreciate a good drink (the man loves his beer in particular) whether it is with clients or friends. With his affable charm, these people are often one and the same to him.
