Anthony Wee

⚒️ What do you do?

I am the Managing Director of Titanium Law Chambers LLC (TLC), a firm which I co-founded with Francis Chan. I have another 5 years and 9 months left in my stint as the Managing Director of TLC before I pass the position over to Francis.

As the founding Managing Director of TLC, I am tasked with stabilising TLC and thereafter, growing it to 4 to 5 times its original size, i.e., to around 20 to 25 fee earners.

🏆 What is your proudest achievement?

I am thankful to be involved in a number of cases which catalysed some form of evolution of the law. The chief among them is the case of Lai Wai Keong Eugene v Loo Wei Yen [2014] 3 SLR 702 which eventually led to the formation of a Law Reform Committee. 

The Law Reform Committee recommended a review of the system of compensation for victims of torts causing bodily injuries / death.

Consequently, the Actuarial Tables for Use in Personal Injury and Death Claims was published by the Singapore Academy of Law in March 2021 and adopted by the Courts in Singapore in determining multipliers for such cases heard as of 1 April 2021.      

⌛ There are now 25 hours in a day! How do you spend your extra hour?

Sleep for half an hour and spend the rest of the time with my family. I sorely need more sleep although sometimes this need stems from my own selfish want for extra “me” time. 

I also do not get enough time with my family. I miss them and I am sure that they miss me. 

🚀 If you weren't a lawyer, what would you do?

A politician, a fish farmer, a businessman, a clever and elusive mafia boss! 

Eventually though I do wish to be involved in making a movie in any form or manner be it writing the screenplay, directing, producing, acting or conceptualising a story that I will be proud to tell.   

😋 Your favourite food haunt (bonus points if it's off the beaten track!)

For obvious reasons (which may not be for those who do not know me well), Dragon-Fly Mala Hotpot at Blk 417 Yishun Avenue 11 (Google Maps).

For those who are daring, go for the fried intestines. It goes down very well with a nice cool beer.  A totally satisfying comfort food.
