My sincere thanks to Mr Baiross for genuinely listening to my issue and willing to provide honest feedback and clarification
I had a great experience having IRB Law to assist my sons in the inheritance matters . Mr Baiross and the teams assist me throughout the journey til everything goes smoothly . Mr Fadil too was very patient in addressing my concerns . He help me with all the doubts and explain well . Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the excellent support and service. From my first meeting with Baiross to the continued support and advice by Crystal over a 12 month period and to achieve a excellent result I would recommend IRB Law and Crystal to anyone looking for a legal advisory and support 🙏🏼👍🙏🏼
I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Mohamed Baiross and his law firm. At a time when we were feeling extremely helpless and urgently needed assistance, he was willing to step in and offer help, even during the weekend. His entire team was also incredibly cooperative and supportive throughout the process, making everything much smoother and reassuring. This clearly shows that his firm is not just about business, but is genuinely committed to helping people in need. It gave us comfort and hope at a very critical moment, and we are truly grateful for their sincerity, dedication, and teamwork. Thanks you🙏🏻
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr Baiross, Mr Basheer and Team IRB who handled my case with a positive outcome that was beyond my expectations. Mr Baiross and Mr Basheer provided me with detailed sound legal analysis, offered the available options, recommended the actions I needed to take to strengthen my case and strategized the approach taken. They were always patient in explaining the legal jargons to me so that I can make informed decisions. IRB's charges were also highly competitive and they often graciously go the extra mile. IRB indeed lives up to be a Singapore's Best Law Firm, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal advice.
We hired IRB to draft an agreement and handle a commercial dispute. IRB proved to be efficient, fast and responsive, including replies over the weekend and public holidays. Comparatively, our legal opponent's lawyers were slow and often cut off work at 5 pm, despite the fact that the settlement negotiation proposed by their client had a short deadline - they also claimed to be Straits Times Singapore's Best Law Firms. We had used other lawyers and notaries in the past, including hiring a well-advertised law firm to handle a fraud case, but it turned out to be disappointing because they gave poor advice and were expensive. Overall, IRB proved to be outstanding in giving speedy, concise advice and was cost-effective. Thanking Baiross, Crystal and team!
Our company recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Baiross, Ms Crystal, Mr Quek and Mr Desmond from IRB for our civil case, and we cannot recommend IRB team highly enough. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt welcomed and understood. The team took the time to listen to our concerns and explain the legal process in a way that was easy to comprehend. Their expertise in civil law is evident; IRB guided us through every step with professionalism and care. IRB team was always quick to respond to our emails and calls, making us feel like a priority throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and we appreciated how they prepared for each meeting with comprehensive notes and strategies. One of the aspects we were most impressed with was their negotiation skills. They were able to secure a favorable settlement that exceeded our expectations. It was clear that they had our best interests at heart, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. The fees were transparent, and there were no hidden costs, which we greatly appreciated. IRB provided a clear breakdown of their charges from the outset, and we felt that their rates were reasonable for the level of service provided. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the outcome of our case and grateful to have had Mr. Baiross by our side. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated team of lawyers, look no further than IRB Law.
Expressing my sincerest gratitude for the excellent legal support and professionalism provided by Sharifah Nabilah throughout our case. Nabilah joined our team later but at a crucial point. She was so committed to our case and got herself up to speed in no time. I enjoyed having her on my team and working with her, making my entire case ordeal that much more bearable. Her legal arguments and writing are cogent - she is definitely born to be a lawyer, as I always tell her. Such a blessing to have met her and to have had her fight our case for us. Also a special mention to Mr Baiross, without whom none of this would be possible. He is such a compassionate lawyer, and always reminded us that all of this is a test from God, and to be patient. It kept us grounded and gave us strength to go through this ordeal. Well, thanks to the awesome team at IRB, we won our case and got a rather favourable outcome. Very thankful and would recommend to anyone in need of expert legal counsel.
I had an excellent experience with IRB Law LLP, particularly with Mr. Baiross, Ms. Sharifah, and their team. From the very beginning, the communication and process were incredibly swift—setting up a meeting with the lawyers was seamless. They were highly responsive, addressing all my queries promptly and providing clear, practical advice on how to navigate my situation. Their guidance gave me confidence and clarity during a challenging time. I am truly thankful and grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.
The lawyers Mr Baiross and Ms Simran have help me with a criminal charge case. My maximum sentence was 4 years and it drop to 3 months and it drop even further to just 10 days. My case was ongoing for 10 months plus and I'm glad that it is finally over now 😊👍

Thanks to the team at IRB law for the efficient handling of my case and achieving a good outcome. Special thanks to my lawyers Mr Dzul, Mr Aidil, Ms Sharmeela, as well as paralegals Mr Fadil, Mr Ghazi, Ms Fatin, Ms Syarah. Thanks also to Ms Syafiqah, Ms Humairah, and Ms Esther for their assistance in preparing my affidavit.
Visited IRB Law with a friend today to get her foreign passport certified true copy (CTC) for the Part B bar application. We were attended to by a locum lawyer, Mr. Cheah, who is not a lawyer from IRB Law. Unfortunately, the interaction left both of us feeling uncomfortable. Mr. Cheah's manner of speaking came across as condescending and unnecessarily harsh. He repeatedly questioned the authenticity of my friend’s identification documents in a tone that suggested distrust, even warning that if they were not genuine, her application could be revoked and he would bear no responsibility. While such diligence may be part of the process, the way it was communicated was disrespectful and accusatory. What was more concerning was his comment referencing her nationality — implying that people from her country had previously asked him to do unethical things, even going as far as to “create laws that do not exist.” This generalisation was inappropriate and uncalled for. He shared that he has practiced law for over 35 years and emphasized the importance of ethics in the legal profession — a point we wholeheartedly agree with. However, professionalism and ethical conduct must also extend to how clients are treated, regardless of what they came for. Respect, empathy, and clear, non-discriminatory communication are just as essential. It’s unfortunate that after such a long career, people still fall short in this regard. Based on this experience, I would not recommend engaging his services. Giving a 3 star rating as we got what we came and paid for - a certified true copy of the passport.

I had a great experience with IRB Law LLP from the beginning of the process. Everything was handled professionally, with kindness and empathy. My lawyers, Mr. Dzuleqhmal and Mr. Aidil, were amazing throughout. They always reassured me and were able to calm my nerves during every court session. They responded promptly to all my doubts from the very beginning. The legal managers and paralegals: Mr. Muhammad Fadil, Ms. Fartin, and Mr. Ahmad Ghazi—made the paperwork process smooth. Communication was excellent throughout, and they ensured everything was worded exactly how I wanted it in the affidavit. I am very grateful for their time, effort, and the empathy they provided.
