I used to prosecute employers. Now I defend them.
Employment law, workplace safety, and MOM compliance, handled by a lawyer who served inside the Ministry of Manpower building the very cases he now defends against.
Why a former prosecutor makes the best defence
"I know exactly how MOM builds its cases — because I used to build them myself. That means I know where the weaknesses are."
Most employment lawyers learn enforcement from textbooks. Johnathan learned it from inside the Ministry of Manpower, where he served as a prosecutor handling employment offences and workplace safety and health violations.
He knows the investigation playbook. He knows what MOM inspectors look for during site visits. He knows how cases are built, what evidence prosecutors rely on, and where the legal thresholds actually sit — not in theory, but in practice.
Now on the other side of the table, Johnathan uses that insider knowledge to protect employers and employees. Whether you're facing an MOM investigation, a wrongful dismissal claim, or need a contract review, you're getting advice from someone who's seen it from every angle.
