Our Purpose

Why We Exist

Tembusu Law is a modern-day law firm in Singapore founded on a commitment to help people and driven by a calling to serve a higher purpose – to bring greater access to help, answers, fairness and justice through sound legal advice.

We’re not talking about having a clear mission that focuses solely on how to generate commercial value for you or your business.

Our higher purpose as a law firm in Singapore is not about economic exchanges. It reflects and represents our ideals, our dreams, our ambitions. It explains why and how we are making a difference, it gives us a sense of meaning, it guides our decisions and it draws our support.

The purpose of our practice is not only to delight customers and create value for businesses, but also to treat our team as valued human beings. We constantly refine and reinforce this by asking questions, listening and reflecting as well as feeling and understanding the deepest, common needs of our team to build an inspired, deeply-connected workforce – a team that desires to think, learn, and grow.

At Tembusu Law, we remain purpose-driven and thankful for every opportunity to serve.

Our Values

The Principles That Guide Us

  • Empathy: We will understand what you are going through and show compassion in helping you.
  • Integrity: We will always do the right thing, because the time is always right to do what is right.
  • Humility: We will put our ego aside and listen to your opinions and feedback because we can always do better.
  • Courage: We will act without fear or favour, knowing that we are empowered with our team’s full support.
  • Tenacity: We will persevere and work even harder when the going gets tough, when no one else is looking and everyone else quits.
  • Ownership: We will be accountable for our actions, and we will not turn away from responsibility.
  • Teamwork: We will support and stand alongside our team in every test and triumph.
  • Purpose: This is not ‘a’ job; this is ‘OUR’ job. We are grateful to have it, and we take pride in everything we do.

Was just surfing for free legal advice and out pops a message from Tembusu Law LLC. Got an immediate whats app text from Jonathan,which was very impressive. I didn't expect someone to contact me in such a short time for free advice. Jonathan asked a few questions about my case and I feedback to him whatever was relevant. After a few days, Jonathan gave me a legal firm contact that is suitable to handle my case. In fact, he said to just wait for the legal firm to call me. He mentioned short consultation shoimd be free and fees will only apply once the lawyer thinks I have a good case to put up. Kudos to Jonathan! Cheers!! Sam Retired
