Associate

Wen Yi graduated from the Singapore Management University in 2023 and began his career in the dispute resolution department of an international law firm before joining Covenant Chambers. There, he amassed a variety of disputes work ranging from criminal matters to commercial disputes.

Wen Yi believes that laws are made to serve the needs of people and not people to serve the requirements of the law. In this vein, Wen Yi believes that, above all else, lawyers should be able to empathise with their clients’ plight.

Outside of work, Wen Yi actively volunteers and serves in his church.
