About Walter Alexander

I have a high level of expertise spanning Civil and Criminal Litigation and corporate work. Called to the Singapore Bar in 2002, I handled complex company litigation working under the tutelage of Mr Davinder Singh, Senior Counsel, for more than four years. 
 
In recent years, I have specialised in corporate law with a focus on Commercial Dispute Resolution and Cross-Border Corporate arenas. This has assisted me in advising companies and drafting complex agreements to meet my clients’ needs. 
 
My job as the Head of Corporate at Silvester Legal is to minimise your risk and maximise your upside with watertight agreements that protect your interests.
