Ascendant Legal LLC is a Singapore law practice comprising a team of experienced lawyers with a wide spectrum of expertise, particularly in the areas of litigation and arbitration, insolvency and restructuring, regulatory compliance and investigations, antitrust and competition, intellectual property, technology, data privacy and employment. 

We represent both domestic and international clients, particularly in the financial institutions, shipping, commodities, energy, and technology sectors. Our lawyers have extensive experience in the Singapore legal market, and our service ranges from pre-agreement deal structuring to formulating strategies in complex, high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional disputes.

In 2018, Ascendant Legal LLC entered into a Formal Law Alliance (FLA) with global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. The alliance, known as Norton Rose Fulbright Ascendant, offers our clients with complete coverage for their Singapore and international law needs, and underscores our shared commitment to furthering Singapore’s position as a leading legal hub for international dispute resolution and restructuring work.

Each member of the firm has an understanding of the other’s strengths and expertise, which allows us to maximise the quality of services provided to our clients by sharing and leveraging off each other’s expertise.

Our lawyers enjoy working together to provide clients with the highest standards of legal representation.
