Brinden Anandakumar
“Lawyer Brinden Anandakumar exemplifies talent, robust work ethic, and sharp legal insight. His hard-working demeanour and commercial-minded approach ensure comprehensive representation. With a robust understanding of intricate legal matters, he navigates complexities with ease, delivering favourable outcomes. Anandakumar's dedication and sharp focus on client needs ensure personalised and effective counsel. Highly recommended for those seeking a talented attorney who is commercially minded and committed to excellence.”
“Proactive, thinks strategically, empathetic.”
“Their lawyer Brinden Anandakumar was extremely helpful in giving me advice at our first meeting and continued helping me craft my WhatsApp and email responses to HR. With his proactive approach, he got HR to back down from making me sign a restrictive agreement on leaving and essentially conceding that I had no trade secrets or confidential information. This I believe prevented the company from taking legal action to enforce the non-compete clause in my contract, or significantly reduce their chance of a successful attempt.”
Edmund Eng
“He listens intently and has a wealth of strategies.”
Wei Chern Tham
“Very clear and good advice, fair-minded.”
“Calm, steady and systematic.”
“Wei Chern is well versed in the law and able to solve the issues as they come.”
Work highlights
Acted for Elcarim and an individual in a $1.5 million High Court matter against a former director for breaches of director’s duties which resulted in the client being investigated and charged for offences under the Strategic Goods Act.
Representing Accelera Precious Timber and Strategic Agriculture, Perfect Earth Management and two individuals in relation to a $3 million claim by ARI Investments and Asian Infrastructure. The appeal will touch on the important issue of whether a claim is an abuse of process if it could have been raised in earlier proceedings but was not.
Advised the Royal Bank of Canada against individuals who perpetrated a fraud on the client causing the bank to transfer C$5.6 million ($4.1 million) to a bank account in Singapore.

A judgment was also obtained against the fraudster.
