Kayshavani Kuppusamy is an Associate Director with Yuen Law’s Family Practice Group.
Kayshavani has extensive experience in all areas of family and divorce law, estate matters, wealth protection, inheritance and succession planning. She helps clients with wills, trusts, and private family agreements for wealth preservation, and has represented clients in various contested proceedings in the Family Courts. These include matrimonial proceedings, concerning custody, care and control and access, maintenance issues, enforcement proceedings, and deputyship applications.
Kayshavani’s clientele includes individuals, couples and families who are locals, expatriates, and foreigners in contentious and non-contentious matters. Her clients value her collaborative approach with their legal problems, finding cost-effective solutions without going to court and reaching an amicable settlement.
Her ability to empathise with others is especially appreciated by Yuen Law’s family clients. She is a new breed of lawyers who passionately embrace the spirit of therapeutic justice demanded by the Family Justice Court. To this end, she strives to achieve favourable outcomes for her client through amicable means such as negotiation and mediation.
Where a settlement is not possible, she is not one to shy away from a contested matter be it in the Family Court or High Court. Where necessary, she is prepared to journey with the client all the way to trial and prepare the client for this journey.
Kayshavani also provides counsel on criminal matters and has represented clients charged with various offences under the Penal Code, Road Traffic Act and the Societies Act. These charges include unlawful assembly, rioting, grievous bodily harm, assault, being a member of an unlawful society, drink-driving, and various other offences.
Outside of legal practice, Kayshavani is involved in organising social and educational activities for young children placed in group homes and delivering milk and diapers to the underprivileged. She enjoys spending her free time with family and friends.
