TSMP Law Corporation

The TSMP Law Corporation is a law firm in Singapore.[1][2]

History

In 1998, Thio Su Mien and Tan Bee Lian founded Thio Su Mien & Partners.[3]

In 2001, the partnership was dissolved, and a new law corporation was formed by Thio and her son, Thio Shen Yi, named TSMP Law Corporation. Tan would still be practising with the TSMP until her retirement in 2018.[4][5][6]

It later entered into a joint law venture with Allens Arthur Robinson, an Australian law firm, in 2007, which allowed Allens to practice Singapore law through TSMP.[7] The venture was eventually dissolved.

In 2019, the partners of the firm formed a compliance consulting company, Integrium Private Limited.[8]

As of 2018, it had over 60 lawyers.[9] As of 2015, it paid its newly-qualified associates a $7,000 monthly salary.[10]

Pro-bono work

During the pandemic, TSMP delivered gift packs to frontline workers at the Singapore General Hospital.[11] In 2020, it was noted as a Champion for Good by the National Volunteer And Philanthropy Centre.[12] In 2023, TSMP began offering pro-bono legal services to victims of sexual harassment.[13]
