Leonard's main areas of practice are in financial, construction and family disputes. He has a wide spectrum of clients, ranging from multinational financial corporations and regional construction companies, to family businesses and high-net-worth individuals. He has represented such clients at all levels of the Singapore judicial system, as well as in domestic and international arbitrations, mediations, neutral evaluations and adjudications. Leonard’s deep interest and expertise in family disputes have also seen him acting for local and foreign individuals in heavily-contested divorce, guardianship, relocation, maintenance, personal protection order, adoption and estate administration applications, many of which involve cross-border and foreign law elements. On a number of these cases, he also worked with foreign counsel, child representatives and governmental agencies for the commissioning of specific reports. He has also contributed articles to the Singapore Law Gazette regarding probate and administration issues.
