About us

Kelvin Chia Partnership (KCP) is a Singapore-headquartered commercial law firm with a well-established regional presence across Southeast Asia. We operate through our on-the-ground offices and long-standing affiliations in key ASEAN cities including Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Yangon and Mandalay (Myanmar), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Bangkok (Thailand), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Manila (Philippines), and Jakarta (Indonesia).

 

We are recognised for our strong track record in handling complex legal matters across Asia, particularly within the ASEAN region. As one of the early entrants into emerging markets such as Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia, we have developed deep local insight and practical experience in navigating unique legal landscapes.

 

KCP is a member of Terralex (www.terralex.org), a leading global network of independent law firms. Through this affiliation, we have access to a worldwide network of legal expertise, allowing us to support our clients with seamless, cross-border legal services wherever their businesses take them.

 

Our many years of experience, regional connectivity, and familiarity with multi-jurisdictional transactions place us in a strong position to advise clients on legal matters across Asia and globally. At the same time, we continue to maintain a robust legal foundation in Singapore, where our firm was established in 1995.

What makes us different

We have been a pioneer across each of our markets, in particular being amongst the very first law firms to open in Vietnam and Myanmar.

 

In each market, we have grown from our practical experience on the ground over the years. Having established strong relationships with local authorities and the business communities, we have a solid foundation for servicing clients.

 

This platform provides a keen understanding of clients’ business objectives. We strive to provide value and if required, work side-by-side our clients to proactively assist in identifying and generating new business opportunities.

 

Our firm has an unparalleled reputation for project execution and delivery, especially when legal structures are challenging and evolving. We think out of the box and provide innovative solutions around barriers or issues, ensuring that the correct legal solution is provided.

Our people

We have an international team of qualified lawyers and professionals with deep technical expertise and practical commerical acumen.

 

In each jurisdiction where we are present, we either operate through our own offices or collaborate closely with established local counsel who possess deep knowledge of domestic laws, regulations, and business practices.  This integrated approach enables us to deliver legal solutions that are both locally grounded and aligned with international standards.

 

We are committed to providing prompt, effective, and business-oriented legal services. Our lawyers combine precision and adaptability, approaching each matter with a commercial mindset and a strong focus on achieving our clients’ legal and strategic objectives.
