The firm
Northbridge Chambers LLC was founded by two friends who left a Magic Circle Singapore office in 2003. The firm has stayed at six lawyers since 2014, deliberately.
We do not have a hourly target. The partners look at every matter before it is taken on, and we turn down work that doesn't fit the practice.
Our partners are admitted to the Singapore Bar and qualified in England and Wales. The firm is registered with the Law Society of Singapore.
Twenty-one years in, the firm has not advertised, billed by the hour as a default model, or grown past six lawyers. None of these are accidents. They are choices that compounded into a practice we're proud of.
The trade-offs are honest. We don't take every matter. We don't price like a Magic Circle office, but we also don't price like a one-room solo practitioner. The middle ground, boutique, partner-led, fixed-fee where possible, is where we sit.
Five things we won't do
Hourly target
Our partners don't have a billable-hour quota. The firm is structured to make the hourly target unnecessary.
Junior signatures
A partner reviews and signs every piece of work that leaves the firm.
Hidden disbursements
Filing fees, courier, court fees: passed through at cost, evidenced. No mark-up.
Work outside our four
We don't do IP, criminal, family, or regulatory. We refer to counterparts we trust.
Marketing on results
We don't publish case wins. The disputes practice depends on confidentiality.
Mandatory retainer
Most of our business clients work matter-by-matter. We don't require a holdback.
