Tang Thomas Strengthens Its Disputes and Healthcare Practices with Ammar Lulla's Appointment
Ammar Lulla, a seasoned litigator with extensive experience in disputes and healthcare sectors, has joined Tang Thomas, a boutique law firm in Singapore, as a partner and co-head of the disputes and healthcare practices.

Together, they will develop advisory services for healthcare providers and operators on contentious and compliance matters.
Lulla's impressive track record includes representing Fortune 500 multinational corporations in conspiracy and bribery cases, handling internal investigations for SGX-listed companies, and advising senior executives in criminal investigations involving allegations of conspiracy to defraud and secret profits. He has also worked on high-profile international cases such as the 1MDB corruption scandal and Wirecard fraud matters.
At Cairnhill Law, Lulla advised technology and chemical companies on corporate governance matters. His appointment at Tang Thomas follows the recent recruitment of Simran Toor as head of regulatory and investigations and co-head of disputes.
