Sanijv Rajan is a Partner in Litigation and Dispute Resolution. He handles a vast array of matters in varied areas of litigation practice. These include corporate & commercial litigation, arbitration, banking, construction, insurance, matrimonial, employment and crime, especially in the area of “white-collar” crime where he advises listed companies and banks on matters ranging from insider trading to anti-money laundering, involving the provisions of the Securities and Future Act and the Corruption Drug Trafficking (Confiscation of Benefits) Act.

A strong advocate of the pro bono movement, Sanjiv regularly handles assignments from the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme, ensuring that accused persons with no financial means secure effective representation. His most recent assignment involved a repeat offender, charged for drug possession. After a full trial, and in a rare decision by the local Courts, the client was acquitted of the charge.

Practice aside, Sanjiv has been, and continues to be, an active trainer in the Postgraduate Practical Law Course, training would-be practitioners in subjects ranging from advocacy to drafting.

Sanjiv has been involved in a number of high-profile cases, some of which have culminated in reported decisions by the Court. These cases, civil and criminal, include:

 

acting for shareholders of a well-known gourmet butchery in claims for breaches of directors' duties, conspiracy and dishonest assistance;

acted for a foreign insurance company in the recovery of monies paid out under a performance bond in respect of a multi-million dollar housing development upgrading project in the east of Singapore;

acted for members of a temple association in a claim brought by fellow members of the then Management Committee;

acted for the owners of a 1929 and New Majestic Hotel against the shareholders of a well-known restaurant;

acting for an advocate and solicitor on multiple charges of forgery and cheating;

acted for an ex-nominated Member of Parliament who was acquitted after a full trial, on charges of corruption;

acted for a police officer who was acquitted after a full trial, on a charge under the Computer Misuse Act;

acted for a woman who was acquitted after a full trial, on a charge of possession of a controlled drug; and

acted for a pastor who was acquitted after a full trial, on charges of outrage of modesty.

 

Sanjiv graduated from Leceister University in 1996. He was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1997, and the Singapore Bar in 1998.
