In October 2023, Tan joined WongPartnership as a senior consultant. The firm stated that Tan will not be involved in any Singapore Exchange matters in his role with the law firm.
On 17 December 2025, after a meeting of the Law Society of Singapore, Tan will be reconstituted as president in 2026 after previously elected president Dinesh Singh Dhillon consented to step down as President. The change in leadership occurred after an EGM was convened protesting Dhillon's presidency.
