RAPHAEL LOUIS (RAY)
Advocate and Solicitor / Managing Director
Raphael Louis, more widely known as Ray, is a respected and seasoned litigator. He has appeared before the State Courts, High Court, and Court of Appeal, gaining extensive experience across various levels of the Singapore judiciary. His areas of practice include criminal defence, family law, and personal injury, where he is known for his deep legal knowledge and strategic advocacy. His cases are frequently featured in the media. Ray is also among the most highly rated lawyers in Singapore, with over 500 verified client reviews on SingaporeLegalAdvice.com.
Beyond litigation, Ray is an accredited mediator with both the Singapore Mediation Centre and the State Courts of Singapore. He has facilitated the resolution of diverse disputes, including those involving commercial, contractual, and harassment matters.
Ray also has a strong interest in legal education. He is an adjunct lecturer with the Executive Counselling and Training Academy, where he teaches a module in law to students pursuing a Master’s degree in Counselling awarded by Flinders University, Australia. He has delivered talks on Singapore criminal procedure to international schools and served as a legal consultant for Mediacorp television scripts.
Ray is deeply committed to helping those who are unable to help themselves—a conviction that led him to establish a legal clinic offering pro bono advice to individuals in need. His dedication to accessible justice has been featured in The Law Gazette (published by the Law Society of Singapore), as well as on The Red Dot (Channel 5) and Channel News Asia. In recognition of his pro bono contributions, he was presented the 10-year Long Service Award by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon in 2023 for his work as a volunteer mediator. He has also volunteered consistently at the Punggol Free Legal Clinic for over 12 years, where he continues to offer legal advice to those who cannot otherwise afford it.
