Harpreet Singh Nehal

Harpreet is the Managing Partner of Audent Chambers LLC, a position he has held since 2019. A Senior Counsel of the Supreme Court of Singapore (appointed in 2007), he was formerly a Partner at Clifford Chance (2012–2019) and, before that, held various roles at Drew & Napier, including as Partner (1994–2011). He had also served as a Justices’ Law Clerk in the Supreme Court of Singapore (1993–1994).

He holds a Master of Laws from Harvard Law School and a Bachelor of Laws from the National University of Singapore. He has taught in Harvard Law School’s Summer Program of Instruction for Lawyers and is a Fellow of the Singapore Academy of Law.

Harpreet also sits on Harvard Law School’s Leadership Council of Asia.

Harpreet has been involved in the Workers’ Party since around 2021, first assisting at Meet-the-People Sessions in Serangoon. Since August 2023, he has been active in house visits and Hammer sales.

Harpreet believes that Singapore will be a much stronger country with more balanced politics. In his view, it is well past time for Singapore to open up politically.

Harpreet hopes to see a fundamental rethinking of HDB policies to ensure that public housing remains affordable and accessible, particularly in an era of increasing job and income insecurity. He also calls for a realignment of CPF and retirement policies to better support seniors, and serious reform in education to equip students for the future.

He believes Singapore deserves a fairer and more transparent political system, with institutions such as the People’s Association and the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee operating independently, and with civil society and government critics treated with respect rather than suspicion.

These changes, in his view, are vital to securing Singapore’s future not just as a high-GDP nation, but as one where affordability, retirement adequacy, quality of life and a fair political system are realities for all citizens.
