Areas of Specialisation
Divorce – Under Singapore Law, a divorce is the legal procedure of terminating a marriage. Divorce often involves dealing with matrimonial issues such as the custody of the children, maintenance, and division of assets.
Annulments – An annulment declares that a marriage never technically occurred and was never valid. If the initiating party can show that he or she has the legal grounds to do so, the marriage will be declared null and void by the Family Court, reverting the parties to single status.
Maintenance – Maintenance is a form of financial assistance. Once divorce procedures have commenced, an application for maintenance can be filed under Section 113 of the Women’s Charter.
Deed of Separation – A deed of separation is a private agreement between husband and wife stating the various terms and conditions of the separation. This document can assist couples in deciding on the most crucial aspects of living apart before dissolving their marriage, such as child custody and asset division, as well as avoiding disputes in court.
Prenuptial Agreements – A prenuptial agreement is an agreement that a couple enters into before getting married and which documents their respective positions in the event of a divorce. A prenuptial agreement may also include specific terms governing the marriage or the couple’s rights and obligations during the marriage in some situations.
Custody / Care and Control – Custody, Care and Control to children form part of the ancillary matters to be decided after an interim judgment of divorce has been granted. Ultimately, the Family Court will have regard to the wishes of the parents, and the wishes of the child, or children.
Adoption – Under the Adoption of Child Act, married couples can adopt a child. Where birth parents are unable or unwilling to care for their children, adoption helps these children find a lifelong family to care for and nurture them.
Personal Protection Order – A Personal Protection Order (“PPO”) is an order restraining someone from using violence against a family member. If the perpetrator breaches the order and harms the victim again, a police report must be made.

Mr Baiross and his team helped me with my litigation case and offered really good advice. I am very appreciative of his work and expertise as it helped me close my case. Thank you🙏🏼🥹
Excellent service from Mr. Baiross and the team at IRB Law LLP. The consultation was clear, professional, and provided very practical solutions. Thanks!
Cannot praise the team at IRB Law enough... from Mohamed Baiross's prompt reply to my whatsapp message late in the night, to Hadhri's prompt follow-up and assistance, they made the process of getting of a POA a really smooth one. Given our tight deadline, the team was very patient and super duper helpful in answering our queries and lending the helping hand. Thank you so much again for everything, we really appreciate it. Kudos to the wonderful team! Cheers! 😀
Highly recommended! With their welcoming office, I had a great experience with IRB Law. Kudos to Mr. Ahmad Ghazi, Mr. Baiross, and the rest of the IRB Law team for their efficiency and excellent coordination. Special thanks to Mr. Ahmad Ghazi, who handled my queries with exceptional professionalism, patience, and dedication from the very beginning. He took the time to explain the process clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and provided clear legal advice on possible future scenarios as well. It was all smooth process within 2 weeks!
We engaged IRB for a recent case and had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mr Baiross and Mr Joel. From our very first consultation, we knew we were in good hands. Mr Baiross took the time to understand our situation and walked us through the potential consequences with so much empathy, patience and genuine concern. He never made us feel rushed, and his ability to explain everything clearly gave us a lot of reassurance during what was a very stressful period for us. It was clear from the very first conversation that he genuinely cared about helping us, and we knew we wanted to engage him and his team. We were also incredibly fortunate to work with Joel throughout the process. His friendly and approachable demeanour made it so easy to communicate with him. He always kept us focused on the end goal, while making the entire process feel much less daunting. At times, it genuinely felt like we were discussing things with a friend rather than a lawyer. What we appreciated most about Joel was his ability to empathise with our situation and understand how we were feeling before offering his thoughts and advice. He never made us feel like our concerns were insignificant, and we always felt heard, respected and supported. His professionalism, patience and personal touch really stood out to us. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a team that is not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely empathetic and invested in their clients.
