Established in 2001 by Mrs. Arfat Selvam, Selvam LLC is a boutique corporate and disputes law firm offering Singapore law services to both local and international clients.
On 1 January 2011, Selvam LLC entered into a joint law venture with Philadelphia-based United States law firm, Duane Morris LLP. The affiliation, formally known in Singapore as an Enhanced Joint Law Venture (“JLV”) was the first U.S.-Singapore joint venture to be approved by Singapore as part of the enhanced liberalisation of its legal services market in 2008. The joint venture, known as Duane Morris & Selvam LLP, enables Duane Morris to strengthen its capabilities, access and presence in Asia through Selvam LLC’s top-ranked Singapore corporate and disputes practices, and likewise helps Selvam to leverage the support of Duane Morris’ 20 U.S. and other international offices.
In addition, the partnership enables Selvam to draw upon the JLV in terms of the technology, IT infrastructure, training and capabilities of a global law firm. Together, the firm now has over 900 lawyers across 30 offices including five offices in Asia: Singapore, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai and Yangon. Selvam LLC undertakes all Singapore law aspects of the JLV, including litigation, employment, real estate and family law matters. Due to the ever increasing volume of cross-border transactions, our local law capability greatly enhances the scope of legal services we are able to offer our clients.

Our firm is often described as “unique.” We have a level of collegiality that means each member of our team is treated as a member of our Selvam family. Our philosophy is to embrace and encourage the diversity of our people. Our clients benefit from the quality of our lawyers and their commercial acumen.
In addition to providing legal services, we believe in making a difference in our local community and we participate in various community engagement projects. Our lawyers share their knowledge and expertise pro bono with community and charitable organizations. One such initiative is for the All Saints Home, a group of elderly care centers across Singapore, which provide support to underprivileged senior citizens. Our lawyers assisted elderly residents to execute a lasting power of attorney so that those close to them may make crucial decisions on their behalf in the event that they are incapacitated. Our other pro bono work has involved helping some low income individuals who could not afford representation in civil and criminal matters.
