Established in 2001, Selvam LLC, founded by Mrs. Arfat Selvam, 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 one of 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’ 24 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 six 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.
