The people who will handle your matter.

Managing Director

Tan Cheng Kiong 陈清强

Mr Tan graduated from the National University of Singapore with an LL.B. (Hons) and was called to the Singapore Bar in March 1990. He is the Managing Director of CK Tan Law Corporation, having practised under his own name as CK Tan & Co before incorporating the present firm in 2018.

His practice is deliberately broad, spanning accident and injury work, family and succession matters, property, corporate and commercial work, and litigation. He has engaged and pleaded in numerous open court hearings in the State Courts, the Family Justice Courts and the Supreme Court.

He is effectively bilingual in English and Mandarin, fluent in Hokkien, and has a working knowledge of Cantonese, Teochew and Malay. As an appointed Notary Public and Commissioner for Oaths, he attests and notarises documents in this office rather than sending clients elsewhere.

Outside practice, he is the Honorary Secretary and a Council Member of the Singapore Scout Association, where he formerly served as Chief Commissioner; a former Vice-Chairman and Treasurer of the Singapore Kindness Movement; a member of the School Advisory Committee of Broadrick Secondary School; and honorary legal adviser to a number of voluntary non-profit organisations and societies.

Consultant

Thomas Toh

Mr Thomas Toh read law at the University of London and was admitted to the Middle Temple in London as a Barrister-at-Law in May 1994. He was called to the Singapore Bar as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court in July 1995, admitted as a Legal Practitioner of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia in 2002, and admitted to the Rolls of Solicitors of England and Wales in 2004.

Before legal practice, he spent over thirteen years with Standard Chartered Bank in a series of managerial positions, his last as Manager of the bank’s Changi branch, and he holds a Diploma in Banking and Finance from the Institute of Banking and Finance, Singapore. That background shows in how he reads a facility letter or a security document: as a banker as well as a lawyer.

In practice since 1995, he was the managing partner and proprietor of his own firm, M/s Thomas Toh, for several years, and served two other practices as Associate Director and Consultant before joining CK Tan Law Corporation as a Consultant. He has represented clients in the State Courts, the Family Justice Courts and the High Court, including criminal appeals before the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
