Eldan Law LLP

Imran's meteoric rise in the legal arena is nothing short of extraordinary. A 2-time Asian champion and 4-time best speaker in Asia during his university days, Imran commenced his legal career under the esteemed Mr. Davinder Singh SC. He further honed his skills in corporate restructuring and insolvency with guidance from industry leaders Mr. Eddee Ng and Mr. Paul Seah at Tan Kok Quan Partnership (TKQP). Today, Imran leads Eldan Law LLP's corporate restructuring and insolvency practice, amassing a series of court victories that have solidified his reputation.

In the last year, Imran played a pivotal role in scaling Eldan Law LLP’s practice, acquiring high-stakes, cross-border projects. He notably advised on asset recovery cases involving over US$45 million across nine jurisdictions, collaborating with regional insolvency giants such as KordaMentha and Grant Thornton. Despite his youth, Imran's leadership is palpable; he acts as the lead counsel against seasoned members of the bar, steering teams of up to five individuals to deliver top-notch legal services.

Beyond his caseload, Imran's passion for community empowerment shines. He co-founded PEGUAM, a society aimed at uniting Muslim legal professionals. Committing to weekly pro bono work, Imran has facilitated over 1,000 Lasting Powers of Attorney applications for vulnerable communities.

Endorsed by industry veterans like Mr. Cameron Duncan and Mr. Joshua Jeyaraj of KordaMentha, Imran’s multi-disciplinary capabilities and results-driven approach have made him an invaluable asset in the field of law.
