Mr. Thangavelu (“Mr. Velu”) is one of Singapore’s top criminal lawyers.

In active litigation practice for over 35 years, he has established a stellar reputation for being tenacious, dedicated, and successful. Over the decades of being one of the leading criminal lawyers of Singapore, Mr. Velu has successfully obtained acquittals and won appeals in several matters across the entire gamut of criminal offences, from murder to corruption.

Although he has a penchant for criminal practice, Mr. Velu does represent clients in divorce matters and civil litigation. Notably, Mr. Velu won an appeal against the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”) on whether a $4.6M gain made by his clients ought to be taxed or treated as capital gains (and therefore, not subject to tax). Mr. Velu prevailed in convincing the Income Tax Board of Review that IRAS was wrong in classifying the gain as a profit.

Mr. Velu is regularly instructed by other lawyers and law firms as their Counsel of choice to argue appeals and to conduct trials on their behalf. Mr. Velu’s high standing in the Singapore Bar is evident from the views of other Singapore lawyers:

Testimonials

Velu is one of the finest defence counsel I have worked with. His fierce dedication to his clients is matched by his considerable courtroom skills. He has inspired many young lawyers and continues to be a “go-to” lawyer who is respected and recognised by the fraternity and clients.

N Sreenivasan, Senior Counsel, Advocate & Solicitor

I have known Mr. Thangavelu for 15 years. He is a man of exceptional acumen in the analysis of criminal law and its application in criminal proceedings. It would not be far from the truth to say he is THE best criminal trial lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with in my 22 years of legal practice.

Gokulakannan, Kannan SG, Advocate & Solicitor

Mr. Velu is a true doyen of the criminal bar. Someone who has the ability to see the solution with absolute clarity, when everyone just sees confusion.

Sanjiv Rajan, Advocate & Solicitor

Mr. Thangavelu is a highly revered lawyer amongst our legal fraternity and has an illustrious legal career spanning more than thirty years. He has handled countless criminal cases at all levels and earned a reputation of being a fearsome cross-examiner in the courtroom. To quote Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants”, and I am grateful to have him as one of my mentors during my formative years as a budding criminal lawyer.

Josephus Tan, Advocate & Solicitor

I have known Velu for more than 20 years, both in my dealings with him as a fellow advocate and solicitor and as a friend. As a lawyer, he is sharp and incisive in his handling of cases. He may appear intimidating, displaying impatience and speaking gruffly at times but beneath that tough veneer is a gentleman who is extremely kind, helpful and compassionate. He is renowned for his criminal law practice as he believes in justice, justice and justice!!! A remarkable lawyer indeed and one who is well regarded and respected by fellow lawyers.

As a friend, he always has time to listen and lend support. He is reliable and true. The phrase, “a friend in need is a friend indeed” epitomises Velu.

Grace Kwek, Advocate & Solicitor
