Battles, bots and breakthroughs: Inside the ST/Statista 2027 list of Singapore’s 100 best law firms

Industry leader Rajah & Tann capped its 50th-anniversary year by topping the Singapore’s Best Law Firms 2027 ranking, carried out by The Straits Times and Statista. Big-name firms Dentons Rodyk & Davidson, Drew & Napier, Allen & Gledhill and CNPLaw rounded out the top five. Small boutique practices did well in niche areas, like hslegal for intellectual property.

There was a dramatic showdown between two industry heavyweights at the top of The Straits Times/Statista Singapore’s Best Law Firms 2027 list.

Both Rajah & Tann and Dentons Rodyk & Davidson secured awards in 19 out of 23 fields of law in the survey. However, Rajah & Tann clinched top spot overall through a superior count of first-place finishes and five-star ratings, which are awarded to firms receiving an exceptional volume of peer and client recommendations.

This is Rajah & Tann’s sixth successive podium first, made all the more significant as it comes on its 50th anniversary.

From a two-man firm in 1976, Rajah & Tann now has more than 1,000 lawyers across 10 countries. Managing partner Ng Kim Beng credited its success to the deep relationships based on trust and confidence that it has built, and a culture steeped in excellence, integrity and a resolute commitment to putting clients’ interests first.

“We take none of this for granted. Every matter, every client relationship and every interaction is an opportunity to earn trust anew. The legal profession is constantly evolving, clients continue to expect more, and the competitive landscape becomes more dynamic every year,” said Ng.

Rajah & Tann’s managing partner Ng Kim Beng credited its success to the deep relationships based on trust and confidence that it has built.

The firm marked its milestone anniversary with several major community initiatives. These included a $500,000 scholarship endowment split equally between the National University of Singapore and Singapore Management University; a $150,000 commitment to Fei Yue Community Services’ Early Intervention Programme for children with developmental needs; and a two-year commitment to provide pro bono legal workshops and guidance to charities and non-profit organisations.

Celebrating 165 years of practice is Singapore’s oldest law firm, Dentons Rodyk & Davidson, which rose from fourth to second place overall in the latest ranking.

Managing partner Gerald Singham said: “Remaining relevant for 165 years requires more than longevity. For Dentons Rodyk, it has meant evolving with Singapore through generations of change while staying grounded in the relationships and values that have endured throughout our history. We have our clients to thank for our strong showing in the latest Singapore’s Best Law Firms survey.”

The joint top ranking in terms of the number of law fields reflects the immense trust clients and peers have placed in the firm, he said, and it comes at a defining moment in its history, as it prepares for its next chapter of leadership.

From Jan 1, 2027, Singham will hand over the reins to Edric Pan.

The ST/Statista 2027 ranking, based on one of the most comprehensive surveys of Singapore’s legal industry, was conducted between May and July and drew some 6,000 respondents who submitted over 12,000 recommendations. The returns were processed and the numbers analysed by Hamburg-based Statista. The data platform then determined the best 100 law firms, out of over 1,270 here.

All of the previous year’s top 10 retained top-tier standing, though internal rankings between them shifted – except for Rajah & Tann’s hold on the top spot – and 13 firms made it onto the list for the first time.

Also making it to the latest ranking are two international firms which hold the Qualifying Foreign Law Practice licence from the Ministry of Law. This licence allows foreign law firms to practise in prescribed areas of Singapore law.

Clifford Chance was recognised for its work in the capital markets and financial services regulatory (FSR) fields, while Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, appearing on the Best 100 list for the first time, was similarly recognised in the FSR field.

As Singapore’s legal landscape is evolving, the survey expanded its coverage by introducing two new stand-alone law fields: aviation, aerospace and space; and healthcare and life sciences.

Drew & Napier took first place in healthcare and life sciences. Practice head Benjamin Gaw highlighted growing demand driven by biotech innovation, digital health, ageing populations and complex regulatory landscapes.

The firm’s work in this sector draws on multidisciplinary capabilities. It acts for both local and international companies, providing sound and practical advice to support clients in their various stages of development, from starting up and product launches to day-to-day running, expansion and restructuring, Gaw said. “One of the main niches and strengths of our practice group is our ability to advise on areas that affect both the healthcare industry and the product companies,” he added.

Drew & Napier attributes its success in this and other fields to its strategy of drawing exceptional legal talent and maintaining a focused commitment to client advocacy.

The firm’s chief executive, Senior Counsel Cavinder Bull, said: “Drew is driven by two things: a deep well of talent and a profound desire to do well for our clients. We are perhaps the most storied firm in Singapore because we collect incredibly gifted lawyers and teach them to be dedicated to solving clients’ problems – it becomes a shared burden.”

Placing a similar focus on continuous client support was Allen & Gledhill’s managing partner, Jerry Koh. He said of the firm’s clients: “Their trust and support are the real reason behind our sustained high placement in The Straits Times’ Singapore’s Best Law Firms. Our desire to do better for them drives us to constantly seek excellence in all we do.”

CNPLaw, which had a top-five finish in the overall placings, also scored the highest number of five-star ratings overall, together with Adsan Law. CNPLaw’s managing partner Lisa Theng said that the firm’s philosophy is to always serve clients with excellence and integrity. “When we get these fundamentals right, the results will follow. But we do not stand still. We continually adapt, innovate and develop our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our clients and the business environment.”

She added that the “CNP culture” is founded on the simple principle that people matter. “Our people and our clients are important to us, and we place great emphasis on building relationships founded on trust, collaboration and the sharing of knowledge. Our sense of shared purpose within the ‘CNP family’ helps us attract and develop good people, deliver better outcomes for clients and build a firm that can thrive over the long term.”

Another of Singapore’s top-notch full-service law firms is WongPartnership. “Our strength lies in our specialist expertise and a deep understanding of our clients’ commercial objectives to deliver practical, integrated advice,” said managing partner Chou Sean Yu.

He added that the firm will build on this by “investing in our people, deepening our regional presence and adopting technology in a considered and responsible way”.

ESG and pro bono leadership

Beyond commercial practice, law firms were also evaluated on their social impact and commitment to sustainability.

Rajah & Tann, Adsan Law and Allen & Gledhill led the rankings for providing legal advice to charities and non-profit organisations, as well as for offering pro bono services.

Central to Rajah & Tann’s outreach is its foundation’s commitment to “excellence with heart”, expanding access to justice through community legal clinics with Pro Bono SG – the Law Society of Singapore’s charity arm – and a memorandum of understanding with the Legal Aid Bureau to handle civil legal aid cases.

Allen & Gledhill led the environmental, social and governance (ESG) practice rankings by prioritising strong internal accountability. Among other things, the firm’s efforts were driven by three key milestones: becoming South-east Asia’s first law-firm signatory to the UN Global Compact, a policy initiative for businesses; appointing partner Elsa Chen as chief sustainability officer in 2025; and instituting a mandatory 24-hour annual pro bono commitment for all its lawyers through its “A&G in the Community” initiative.

Boutique versus corporate

In the current ranking, medium-sized firms, with six to 30 lawyers, and large ones, with more than 30 lawyers, dominated categories like arbitration and dispute resolution, accounting for 28 of 32 firms recognised.

However, boutique practices showed that deep focus can triumph over scale in specialised fields.

Adi Law, for example, topped the investment funds law field for the third consecutive year, edging out eight major full-service firms on the list, among others.

Managing director Amit Dhume said: “To be recognised as the top firm for investment funds for a third consecutive year is something we do not take for granted. It reflects the trust our clients have placed in a focused, specialist practice.”

Adi Law’s managing director Amit Dhume said that to be recognised as the top firm for investment funds for a third consecutive year is something the company does not take for granted.

A first-time entrant in the rankings, hslegal, shot to the top of the intellectual property (IP) law field. Managing partner Murgiana Haq said: “We are truly honoured by this recognition in our inaugural ranking. As a boutique IP practice, this recognition from our clients and peers is especially meaningful. Clients are at the heart of our work, and we are grateful for the trust they place in us.”

She added that strong relationships with clients, team members and the broader legal community are essential to a successful IP law practice. Haq stressed that in-person meetings, event networking and participation in local and international IP associations build trust, credibility and collaboration.

Separately, for the third year running, the ST/Statista survey also identified the 20 top-rated lawyers, based on the number of recommendations received.

They ranged from Lighthouse Law’s Adrian Wee to CNPLaw’s See Tow Soo Ling and included industry veterans like Senior Counsel Davinder Singh and Peter Low.

Said Akesh Abhilash, who is appearing for the first time on the list: “Disputes and arbitration work means standing beside people when their business, and often their peace of mind, is on the line. To be recommended by those who let me do that for them means more than I can easily say.”

The AI divide: Efficiency verus human judgment

Artificial Intelligence emerged as a major and somewhat divisive theme in the questionnaire for lawyers that accompanied the survey. Reflecting the extreme positions on the subject, one lawyer said that “AI camouflages substandard work”, while another said that because of AI, “you can no longer survive as a mediocre lawyer”.

Overall, more than half of the 300 respondents identified the top risks as the erosion of critical thinking skills, over-reliance on automated tools and accuracy issues.

When contacted separately about the use of AI, law firms said they are taking a strategic, measured approach to integrating generative AI (Gen AI) and seek to balance active technological investment with an emphasis on preserving human judgment, institutional knowledge and client trust.

Some, like Allen & Gledhill, are moving beyond generic tools to build proprietary capabilities and adopt leading platforms.

With a grant from the Infocomm Media Development Authority, the firm launched its custom Gen AI platform, A&GEL, embedding AI directly in the firm’s workflows and document management across six jurisdictions.

Similarly, WongPartnership is focusing on embedding its own institutional knowledge in AI workflows, while Dentons Rodyk has built an internal AI knowledge agent, enabling lawyers to streamline the research workflow, among other things.

WongPartnership’s Chou said that as Gen AI becomes widely accessible, leveraging proprietary expertise within AI tools will be the key differentiator, enabling lawyers to spend more time on strategy and client relationships while delivering sharper advice.

Across all the top law firms, the emphasis was the same – AI should augment, rather than replace, human expertise.

Rajah & Tann’s Ng and Dentons Rodyk’s Singham both noted that while AI handles data-heavy repetitive tasks, core legal value relies on human qualities that technology cannot replicate: trust, empathy, strategic discernment and tailored advice.

Sharing similar sentiments, CNPLaw’s Theng said: “Ultimately, we see AI as a means of strengthening our ability to serve our clients rather than a substitute for the expertise, judgment and relationships that lie at the heart of good legal advice.”

The same holds true for boutique firm Delta Law Corporation, which was set up in June 2025. Partner Sean Lee said the firm was still working out how best to build AI into its established workflows, and it would rather do that properly than quickly.

He said: “Everything that goes to a client or to a court is checked by the lawyer whose name is on it, and we treat client confidentiality as the constraint that determines what we will and will not put through any external system. Neither of those positions is likely to change.”

Drew & Napier’s Bull said: “The modern lawyer has to master two things: how to use AI and when not to use AI. Law firms need to develop a culture where judgment and critical thinking are considered too precious to be abdicated to AI.”

在《海峡时报》/Statista新加坡2027年最佳律师事务所榜单中，两家行业巨头展开了激烈的角逐。

在本次调查的23个法律领域中，Rajah & Tann和Dentons Rodyk & Davidson两家律所均在19个领域斩获殊荣。然而，Rajah & Tann凭借其在众多第一名和五星评级中的卓越表现，最终荣登榜首。五星评级授予那些获得同行和客户极高推荐量的律所。

这是 Rajah & Tann 连续第六次登上领奖台第一名，正值公司成立 50 周年之际，更显得意义非凡。

Rajah & Tann 律师事务所从 1976 年的两人小事务所发展成为如今遍布 10 个国家、拥有 1000 多名律师的大型律师事务所。管理合伙人 Ng Kim Beng 将事务所的成功归功于其建立的基于信任和信心的深厚关系，以及秉持卓越、诚信和始终将客户利益放在首位的企业文化。

“我们绝不会把这一切视为理所当然。每一个案件、每一段客户关系、每一次互动都是重新赢得信任的机会。法律行业在不断发展，客户的期望也越来越高，竞争格局也日益激烈，”吴先生说道。

Rajah & Tann 的管理合伙人 Ng Kim Beng 将公司的成功归功于其建立在信任和信心基础上的深厚关系。

为庆祝公司成立周年，公司开展了多项重要的社区活动。其中包括：向新加坡国立大学和新加坡管理大学各捐赠50万美元设立奖学金；向飞跃社区服务中心的早期干预项目捐赠15万美元，用于帮助有发育障碍的儿童；以及承诺在两年内为慈善机构和非营利组织提供免费的法律讲座和指导。

新加坡历史最悠久的律师事务所 Dentons Rodyk & Davidson 庆祝成立 165 周年，在最新的排名中，该事务所的排名从第四位上升至第二位。

管理合伙人杰拉德·辛格姆表示：“165年来，保持竞争力需要的不仅仅是悠久的历史。对于德同律师事务所而言，这意味着与新加坡共同经历几代人的变迁，同时始终坚守贯穿我们历史的人际关系和价值观。我们衷心感谢客户的支持，使我们在最新的新加坡最佳律师事务所评选中取得了优异成绩。”

他表示，在法律领域数量方面并列第一，反映了客户和同行对这家公司的巨大信任，而这正值公司历史上一个具有决定性意义的时刻，因为公司正准备开启下一个领导篇章。

从 2027 年 1 月 1 日起，辛格汉姆将把领导权移交给埃德里克·潘。

2027年《海峡时报》/Statista排名基于对新加坡法律行业最全面的调查之一，于5月至7月进行，吸引了约6000名受访者提交了超过12000条推荐意见。这些数据由总部位于汉堡的Statista公司进行处理和分析。随后，该数据平台从新加坡1270多家律师事务所中评选出了前100名。

去年排名前 10 的公司全部保持了顶级地位，尽管它们之间的内部排名发生了变化——除了 Rajah & Tann 仍然占据榜首——并且有 13 家公司首次进入榜单。

最新排名中还包括两家持有新加坡律政部颁发的“合格外国律师事务所执业许可证”的国际律所。该许可证允许外国律师事务所在新加坡法律的特定领域执业。

Clifford Chance 因其在资本市场和金融服务监管 (FSR) 领域的工作而受到认可，而首次进入百强榜单的 Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher 也因其在 FSR 领域的出色表现而受到认可。

随着新加坡法律环境的演变，该调查扩大了其覆盖范围，引入了两个新的独立法律领域：航空、航天和空间；以及医疗保健和生命科学。

德鲁和纳皮尔律师事务所荣获医疗保健和生命科学领域第一名。该事务所负责人本杰明·高强调，生物技术创新、数字医疗、人口老龄化以及复杂的监管环境推动了市场需求的增长。

该律所在该领域的业务依托于其多学科能力。高先生表示，律所为本地及国际公司提供服务，为客户提供切实可行的建议，支持其在各个发展阶段的运营，从初创、产品发布到日常运营、扩张和重组。“我们业务团队的主要优势之一在于，我们能够就影响医疗保健行业和产品公司的领域提供咨询，”他补充道。

Drew & Napier 将其在这一领域和其他领域的成功归功于其吸引杰出法律人才和始终专注于维护客户利益的战略。

该律所首席执行官、资深律师卡文德·布尔表示：“德鲁律所的驱动力源于两点：一是人才济济，二是竭力为客户谋求福祉。我们或许是新加坡最具传奇色彩的律所，因为我们汇聚了众多才华横溢的律师，并教导他们全心全意为客户解决问题——这成为我们共同的责任。”

Allen & Gledhill 的管理合伙人 Jerry Koh 也同样重视对客户的持续支持。他谈到事务所的客户时说：“客户的信任和支持是我们能够持续在《海峡时报》新加坡最佳律师事务所排名中名列前茅的真正原因。我们渴望为他们做得更好，这激励着我们不断追求卓越。”

CNPLaw在整体排名中位列前五，并与Adsan Law并列获得五星评级数量最多。CNPLaw的管理合伙人Lisa Theng表示，事务所的理念是始终以卓越和诚信服务客户。“当我们把这些基本原则做好，结果自然会随之而来。但我们不会止步不前。我们会不断调整、创新和提升自身能力，以满足客户和商业环境不断变化的需求。”

她补充说，“CNP文化”建立在以人为本的简单原则之上。“我们的员工和客户对我们至关重要，我们非常重视建立在信任、协作和知识共享基础上的关系。‘CNP大家庭’内部的共同目标感帮助我们吸引和培养优秀人才，为客户带来更好的成果，并打造一家能够长期蓬勃发展的公司。”

新加坡另一家顶尖的全方位服务律师事务所是黄氏律师事务所。“我们的优势在于我们的专业知识和对客户商业目标的深刻理解，从而提供切实可行的综合建议，”管理合伙人周绍宇表示。

他还补充说，公司将在此基础上“投资于我们的员工，深化我们的区域影响力，并以审慎负责的方式采用技术”。

ESG和公益领导力

除了商业实践之外，律师事务所的社会影响和对可持续发展的承诺也受到评估。

Rajah & Tann、Adsan Law 和 Allen & Gledhill 在为慈善机构和非营利组织提供法律咨询以及提供公益服务方面名列前茅。

Rajah & Tann 律师事务所的核心理念是“以爱心追求卓越”，通过与新加坡律师协会慈善机构 Pro Bono SG 合作设立社区法律诊所，扩大民众获得司法救助的途径，并与法律援助局签署谅解备忘录，处理民事法律援助案件。

Allen & Gledhill 律师事务所凭借其对内部问责制的重视，在环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 实践排名中名列前茅。该事务所的努力主要体现在三个关键里程碑上：成为东南亚首家签署联合国全球契约（一项面向企业的政策倡议）的律师事务所；任命合伙人 Elsa Chen 于 2025 年担任首席可持续发展官；以及通过其“A&G in the Community”计划，要求所有律师每年至少完成 24 小时的强制性公益服务。

精品店与公司

在目前的排名中，拥有 6 至 30 名律师的中型律师事务所和拥有 30 名以上律师的大型律师事务所在仲裁和争议解决等类别中占据主导地位，在获得认可的 32 家律师事务所中占 28 家。

然而，精品事务所的实践表明，在专业领域，专注可以战胜规模。

例如，Adi Law 连续第三年位居投资基金法律领域榜首，击败了榜单上的八家主要全方位服务公司等其他公司。

董事总经理阿米特·杜姆表示：“连续三年被评为投资基金领域的最佳公司，我们对此倍感荣幸。这体现了客户对我们这家专注的专业机构的信任。”

Adi Law 的总经理 Amit Dhume 表示，能够连续第三年被评为投资基金领域的顶级公司，是公司非常珍惜的成就。

hslegal首次入选该排名，便一举跃居知识产权法律领域榜首。管理合伙人Murgiana Haq表示：“我们非常荣幸能在首次排名中获得如此殊荣。作为一家精品知识产权律师事务所，我们尤其珍视来自客户和同行的认可。客户是我们工作的核心，我们衷心感谢他们对我们的信任。”

她补充说，与客户、团队成员以及更广泛的法律界保持牢固的关系，对于知识产权法律业务的成功至关重要。哈克强调，面对面的会晤、参加活动拓展人脉以及参与本地和国际知识产权协会，都有助于建立信任、信誉和促进合作。

LLP 管理合伙人 Murgiana Haq 强调，面对面的会议、活动交流以及参与本地和国际知识产权协会可以建立信任、信誉和合作。

此外，ST/Statista 调查连续第三年根据收到的推荐数量评选出 20 位顶级律师。

其中包括 Lighthouse Law 的 Adrian Wee 和 CNPLaw 的 See Tow Soo Ling，以及 Davinder Singh 和 Peter Low 等业内资深人士。

首次上榜的阿凯什·阿比拉什表示：“争议解决和仲裁工作意味着在人们的生意乃至他们的安心都面临风险时，与他们并肩作战。能够得到那些信任我、让我为他们做这件事的人的推荐，对我来说意义非凡。”

人工智能鸿沟：效率与人类判断

在随附的律师问卷调查中，人工智能成为一个重要且颇具争议的话题。调查结果反映了律师们对此问题的极端看法：一位律师表示“人工智能掩盖了工作质量低劣”，而另一位律师则表示，由于人工智能的存在，“平庸的律师已经无法生存”。

总体而言，300 名受访者中有一半以上认为主要风险是批判性思维能力的削弱、过度依赖自动化工具和准确性问题。

当被单独问及人工智能的使用情况时，律师事务所表示，他们正在采取战略性的、审慎的方法来整合生成式人工智能（Gen AI），并力求在积极进行技术投资的同时，注重维护人类的判断、机构知识和客户的信任。

一些公司，例如 Allen & Gledhill，正在超越通用工具，构建专有功能并采用领先平台。

在新加坡资讯通信媒体发展管理局的资助下，该公司推出了其定制的 Gen AI 平台 A&GEL，将人工智能直接嵌入到该公司在六个司法管辖区的工作流程和文档管理中。

同样，WongPartnership 专注于将自身的机构知识嵌入人工智能工作流程中，而 Dentons Rodyk 则构建了一个内部人工智能知识代理，使律师能够简化研究工作流程等等。

WongPartnership 的 Chou 表示，随着人工智能技术的普及，利用人工智能工具中的专有专业知识将成为关键的差异化因素，使律师能够将更多的时间用于战略和客户关系，同时提供更精准的建议。

所有顶尖律师事务所的重点都一样——人工智能应该增强而不是取代人类的专业知识。

Rajah & Tann 的 Ng 和 Dentons Rodyk 的 Singham 都指出，虽然人工智能可以处理数据密集型的重复性任务，但核心法律价值依赖于技术无法复制的人类品质：信任、同理心、战略洞察力和量身定制的建议。

CNPLaw 的 Theng 也表达了类似的观点：“归根结底，我们认为人工智能是增强我们服务客户能力的一种手段，而不是取代专业知识、判断力和人际关系，而这些才是良好法律建议的核心。”

精品律师事务所 Delta Law Corporation 的情况也类似，该事务所成立于 2025 年 6 月。合伙人 Sean Lee 表示，事务所仍在研究如何最好地将人工智能融入其既有的工作流程中，并且他们宁愿把事情做好，而不是匆忙行事。

他说：“所有提交给客户或法院的文件都会由署名律师审核，我们始终将客户保密性作为限制条件，以此决定哪些文件会提交给外部系统。这两个立场都不太可能改变。”

德鲁纳皮尔律师事务所的布尔表示：“现代律师必须掌握两件事：如何使用人工智能以及何时不应该使用人工智能。律师事务所需要建立一种文化，在这种文化中，判断力和批判性思维非常宝贵，不能拱手让给人工智能。”
