CEO wanted: Law Society blasts job ad for chief executive position to lead ‘institutional renewal’ amid police probe
The incoming head’s primary mandate will be to strengthen the society’s culture and governance
The Law Society of Singapore has advertised for a new Chief Executive Officer amid a police investigation into allegations raised in an internal audit of the organization. The audit, triggered by an anonymous email in September 2025, found failings in leadership, workplace culture, governance, and internal controls over the period from 2022 to 2025.
These issues included concerns over inappropriate workplace conduct, weak oversight, deficient grievance-handling, and gaps in internal controls. The society's presidents during this period were Adrian Tan, Jason Chan, and Lisa Sam. The new CEO's primary mandate will be to strengthen the society's culture and governance, rebuild internal trust, and improve staff morale.
The audit was conducted following an anonymous email to the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Manpower, and LawSoc was instructed not to publish or comment on the report's contents until investigations were complete.
