ML Chambers (Mark Lee Chambers Law Corporation) is a Singapore boutique law firm with a deep specialisation in complex corporate governance, boardroom, shareholder and joint venture disputes. Our lawyers and their work in this area have been consistently recognised, including as a “Firm to Watch” by The Legal 500 Asia Pacific and Asian Legal Business (Thomson Reuters) in 2026.
We advise companies, their shareholders and directors in complex, cross-border, multi-party shareholder disputes, breach of directors’ duties claims, statutory derivative actions (section 216A, Companies Act 1967) and minority oppression claims (section 216, Companies Act 1967).
Our matters are often multi-jurisdictional in nature, involving parties, companies and assets across several borders (including Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Hong Kong, China, Australia, the British Virgin Islands, Germany and the United States), as well as issues of foreign law and collaborative efforts with law firms in other jurisdictions. We act in the Singapore Courts, including on appeal, and in international arbitration.
We adopt a dual “curative” and “preventive” methodology in catering to our client’s corporate needs. ML Chambers does not just respond to pre-existing difficulties / disputes to offer “cures” but we also strive to help our clients address their needs holistically and pre-emptively by assisting companies/businesses build competencies and corporate governance best practices.
We keenly understand that a “legal win” and “commercial win” are not always synonymous. We strive to provide solutions that are practical, sensitive to commercial realities and which secure the longer term core interests of our clients.
ML Chambers was named a “Firm to Watch” in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2026 guide, where the Legal 500 Editorial Commentary notes the firm’s “deep expertise in corporate, shareholder, and boardroom disputes, regularly acting in cross-border cases involving shareholders and directors.”
ML Chambers was also separately ranked a “Firm to Watch” by Thomson Reuters, Asian Legal Business (ALB Singapore Firms to Watch 2026) for its work in “complex high-stakes commercial litigation, arbitration and cross-border transactional work.”
Managing Director Mark Lee was named a Finalist for Dispute Resolution Lawyer of the Year at the ALB South East Asia Law Awards 2026.
