That.Legal LLC

30/10/2025

We are so honoured to share that our firm has been recognised as Singapore’s Best Intellectual Property Law Firm 🥇 for the 4th consecutive year based on recommendations made by peers, in-house counsel and clients.

We further extend our congratulations to our Executive Director, Mark Teng, for being named the Top-Rated IP Lawyer 2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Our sincere appreciation goes out to our wonderful clients, exceptional international partners and peers who have put their unwavering trust in us. Thank you for your vote!

This accolade serves as a testament to our team’s ability to handle high-value, complex and cross-border matters.

Contrary to the popular belief that lawyers need to associate themselves with a big firm to succeed, we founded That.Legal LLC in 2019 with the faith that if we are confident in our methods, disciplined in our approach, and we have the gumption to win the trust of good clients – being boutique has its benefits.

Just as our only 60-year-old Singapore 🇸🇬 has achieved recognition on the global stage, boutique law firms too can be more efficient, innovative, and effective for their clients.

The true heroes of this story are our team members who have, against the odds, stood with us through every challenge and held on to the belief in the That.Legal dream before we were accorded any recognition. Thank you for your hard work and dedication – this award is really for you. ✊

This “Singapore’s Best Law Firms 2026” award by The Straits Times x Statista highlights outstanding law firms across various legal specialisations and is based on an extensive survey between 12 May and 7 July 2025 that gathered approximately 12,000 recommendations from clients and peers.

We are excited to share that this year holds special significance to us not just because we have now been promoted to Silver Tier 🥈 for Enforcement & Litigation by the World Trademark Review, but because this year we warmly welcome Gillian Tan to our growing firm as a third “equity partner” 🎉🥂🍾

Gillian’s journey with us began when she and our Executive Director, Mark, started as first-year associates together in their prior firm, where they cultivated a robust partnership, with Gillian specialising in non-contentious IP matters and Mark focusing on IP dispute resolution.

This year, we are immensely proud that Gillian has been recognised for the first time as a Leading Individual for Trade Mark Prosecution & Strategy – what an outstanding achievement!

Mark also received a new recognition, this time being promoted to a Leading Individual (Silver Tier) for his expertise in Enforcement & Litigation ⚖️. Our Managing Director, Jonathan Foong, maintains his Silver Tier status for Prosecution & Strategy™️, ensuring we deliver nothing but top tier IP services at competitive prices.

We further extend our congratulations to our Executive Director, Mark Teng, for being named among the “20 Top-Rated Lawyers 2025.” Mark stands out as one of only four IP lawyers recognised this year.

A sincere thank you to our amazing clients, referral partners and peers who had put their unwavering trust in our boutique firm.
