PRINCIPAL DIRECTORS

Winnifred Gomez

Winnifred, a committed and dedicated lawyer in Family and Civil practice was called to the Bar in Singapore in 1987.  Her invaluable experience in exploring and negotiating amicable resolutions takes priority and when that is no longer an option, her fervour in litigating her clients’ needs has earned her deserving respect. Her meticulous attention to the knocks and turns of her clients’ situations has helped to save many a parent and child from the harshest of predicaments. The earnest gratitude of clients has continued to feed her passion and calling. Winnifred has led international and cross-border familial battles right up to the Court of Appeal in Singapore and the Federal Courts of New York. She is equally devoted in her practice of Civil law which encompasses contract and commercial litigation, negligence cases, personal injury claims and construction disputes. Winnifred remains an active volunteer at AWARE’s legal clinic.
