- The various options if a contract is breached.
- Dealing with contracts involving parties in other countries.
The Author
Kevin Chua has been a lawyer in both the public sector and private practice for the past 20 years. As a legal officer posted to the then-Registry of Companies and Businesses, now the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), and dealing with members of the public every day, Kevin witnessed first-hand how ordinary citizens can frequently be affected not just by the criminal law everyone knows from television (today, mostly from Netflix) but also the laws that govern our daily lives.
After his formative years in ACRA, Kevin practiced corporate and commercial law in the private sector in Singapore law firms and as an in-house counsel, as well as several years in the Monetary Authority of Singapore where he dealt with a wide range of legal and regulatory matters.
Now with Yuen Law LLC, Kevin advises on financial regulatory matters and has a special interest in payment services and cryptocurrencies.
