Introduction to blogging

Hi, To all potential readers, this is my first night as a blogger.

I hope my thoughts are of some value to anyone who may be interested in the law.

For those who are even remotely interested in who I am, they can check out www.tanandtanlawyers.com

I have been a lawyer for over 20 years and I believe I may have something to share with any one interested in the law.


I hail from Singapore and have lived in Perth for over 20 years. I have 2 boys aged 9 and 11.

My wife is from Malaysia.

She runs my settlement division of the law firm and has been a rock in all my business dealings.

My 2 boys fight constantly and as any frustrated parent, I spend time punishing both but without showing favoritism to either. One is a black belt tae kwon do and the other about to become a black belt too in 3 mths. So I know I have to tread carefully:)

I have operated my website with a free email legal advice service for over 8 yrs. That is my way of giving back to the community.

If you have any legal questions, feel free to email me and I will try and respond with my thoughts.

My idea for the blog is to include interesting cases that I may be working on without breaching confidentiality.

It may hopefully show what an average lawyer's life is like to anyone interested in the law.

I also hope to de-mystify the law for any one who reads my blog.


So until my next thoughts are put on the web, good night.
