Dentons Rodyk is proud to announce that Philip Jeyaretnam S.C is the recipient of The Law Society of Singapore’s C C Tan Award of 2020.

The C C Tan Award is named after Mr. Tan Chye Cheng, who was The Law Society of Singapore’s very first President. Throughout his long and illustrious professional career, he embodied the finest and noblest traditions of the legal profession – honesty, fair play, gentlemanliness and personal integrity. Since 2003, it has been The Law Society’s tradition each year to recognize and honour a member of the legal profession who best personifies the model example and ideals set by its very first President.

A leading commercial litigator and international arbitration counsel, Philip was appointed as Senior Counsel in 2003 at the early age of 38 and is named in all major legal publications as an expert in arbitration, construction law and litigation. Philip was also president of The Law Society of Singapore from January 2004 to December 2007.
