He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) from the National University of Singapore in 2004 and was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore in 2005.  Since then, Chern Yang has had experience in matters spanning a wide spectrum of legal issues, including claims involving banks and financial institutions, civil commercial matters, defamation, contractual claims, landlord-tenant disputes, employment issues such as breach of fiduciary duty and duty of confidence, shareholder disputes, claims in tort such as negligence and conspiracy, and matrimonial matters.

Chern Yang has also advised clients on privacy and data protection matters arising out of the application of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) both in Singapore and as part of a global policy. He conducts training workshops with the Singapore Academy of Law to equip Data Protection Officers and other participants with the knowledge and skills for compliance with the PDPA.

As a mediator, Chern Yang has been an accredited mediator with the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) since 2010 and has also attended advanced mediation training conducted by Harvard Law School and Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, Pepperdine School of Law.

He is also an assessor for the accreditation of mediators at SMC and has been an international Expert Assessor for the CDRC Vienna IBA-VIAC Mediation and Negotiation Competition.

The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2019 edition has praised Chern Yang as “a good team player” and “strategic thinker”.

I have been mediating civil commercial and healthcare cases since 2009 and and presently on the following panels:

  • Singapore International Mediation Centre
  • Singapore Mediation Centre
  • Healthcare Mediation Scheme administered by MOH Holdings Pte Ltd
  • State Courts Centre for Dispute Resolution

I have also been practicing mediation advocacy as counsel for parties in mediation as part of my legal practice.

While primarily a facilitative mediator, I have, on occasions upon request by the parties, leveraged on my legal background to adopt a more evaluative approach to the mediation, especially to help the parties review the merits and feasibility of any proposed solution or their respective alternatives to a negotiated agreement.

Civil, commercial disputes. Healthcare, medical negligence.
