What CnpLaw does

CnpLaw (legally CNPLaw LLP, formerly Colin Ng & Partners LLP) is a Singapore-headquartered full-service law firm founded in 1988. It provides legal advisory across eight practice areas: Corporate Services, Private Clients/Family Offices/Wealth Management, Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property/Media/Technology, Employment, Funds and Financial Services, Real Estate, and Antitrust/Competition. The firm lists over 40 lawyers on its website spanning Managing Partner, Equity Partners, Partners, Senior Associates and Associates, with key practice leaders including Managing Partner Lisa Theng, Equity Partners Pradeep Kumar Singh, Bill Jamieson and Tan Min-Li, and Partner Wong Pei-Ling.

The firm is structured as a private limited liability partnership registered in Singapore with no parent company. Revenue is generated through professional legal fees on a quote-per-engagement basis across corporate and private client mandates. CNP Law serves enterprise clients in healthcare, private equity/venture capital, manufacturing, real estate, technology, F&B and financial services — documented mandates include the Edmund Tie/OrangeTee joint venture, a multi-million-dollar mezzanine investment by Tembusu Partners into Barghest Building Performance, and the Alliance Brewery/Asia Pacific Breweries Heineken joint venture in Myanmar. Its GTM motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by thought-leadership content (CNPupdates newsletter), directory recognition (Chambers, Legal 500, Asialaw, Benchmark Litigation, Who's Who Legal), and international referral capacity through its Interlaw membership spanning 150 cities.

Geographic coverage is anchored in Singapore with active mandates across China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and the United States. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no subsidiaries, and no external funding rounds — operating as an independent partnership. Strategic milestones include the 2014 rebrand from Colin Ng & Partners LLP and the formation of a strategic association with Myanmar firm Fame Myanmar Co Ltd in January 2014.
