When every moment counts and the stakes are high, rely on decades of strategic advocacy and principled defence to safeguard your rights, reputation, and future.

Our Criminal Justice System Leaves No Margin for Mistakes

Singapore’s reputation for safety is built on strict enforcement and zero tolerance for crime. But behind the efficiency of agencies like the Singapore Police Force, CNB, and CPIB lies a reality many don’t realise until it’s too late: investigations are thorough, and if there is prosecution, conviction may follow and sentences cab be severe.

Whether you’re being questioned, charged, or already in court, early legal intervention iscritical  — it is a direct threat to your freedom, reputation, livelihood, and family. Whether you’re facing allegations of theft, drug offences, sexual misconduct, white-collar crime or regulatory breaches, one thing is certain: you cannot afford to take chances. When your life, liberty name and reputation are at stake, choosing the right lawyer is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.

The sooner you engage defence counsel, the better your chances of protecting your rights, your freedom, and your future.

Criminal Defence Law Firms in Singapore: What Sets Amarjit Sidhu Law Apart

Whether you are a professional, an expatriate, a national serviceman or a public figure, you’ll find in us not just legal knowledge, but clarity, strength, and commitment in a system that offers little room for error.

Our firm’s practice is built on strategic advocacy, principled representation, and an unwavering commitment to securing the best possible outcome for every client.

Led by a Senior Criminal Lawyer with Proven Results

Mr. Amarjit Singh Sidhu, a former prosecutor at Attorney General’s Chambers and his Partners, Ms Simrin and Ms Sweeney, brings decades of experience handling high-profile and complex criminal trials in both the State Courts and High Court. Their track record includes:

• Full criminal trials involving rape, statutory rape, and sexual offences
• High-profile cases such as commercial sex with a minor
• Appellate advocacy before the Appellate Division
• Representing foreign professionals and expatriates, successfully securing charge withdrawals or compositions through strategic representations to the Attorney-General’s Chambers
• Defending a wide range of criminal matters including:
  • Sexual misconduct
  • Drug trafficking and consumption
  • Corruption and bribery
  • White-collar fraud and CBT
  • Assaults (including taxi driver cases)
  • Maid abuse
  • Drink-driving and serious traffic offences

We also represent servicemen in military court proceedings, including Court Martial trials for SAF regulars and NSFs.

Involvement in Complex Coroner’s Inquiries

Mr. Amarjit Singh Sidhu has participated in significant Coroner’s Inquiries involving foreign nationals, including:

• The 2013 death of an American scientist, as part of a five-lawyer defence team
• The death of an American woman who fell from the Swissôtel
• An Australian who died as he was trapped in a room sometime in 2019.

These cases demanded not just legal knowledge, but sensitivity, cross-border understanding, and attention to forensic detail.

We Build Tailored, Tactical Defences

No two clients and no two cases are the same. We don’t believe in standard templates or generic advice. Our defence strategies are tailored to the facts, the law, and your specific needs. We focus on:

• Spotting procedural errors and rights violations
• Challenging the admissibility and strength of evidence
• Identifying gaps in the opponent’s case
• Preparing persuasive mitigation for sentencing
• Managing reputational risks, especially in sensitive or high-profile matters

Our goal is clear: an acquittal, charge withdrawal, or the most favourable outcome possible — without compromising your dignity or future.
