Services
Six areas of legal practice, each delivered with the same sequenced standard — counsel that maps risk, prepares paper, and schedules next steps on the case ledger.
Corporate & Commercial
We advise on the full lifecycle of corporate structures and commercial relationships under Singapore law. From incorporation through ACRA filings to complex cross-border joint ventures, our counsel is drafted for enforceability and aligned with how your organisation actually operates — not how a template assumes it should.
Shareholders' agreements, distribution arrangements, service-level contracts, and asset purchase agreements all receive the same treatment: factual review, risk mapping, plain-language explanation, and a documented trail of decisions. When counterparties push back, you have a reasoned position recorded on the ledger — not a vague memory of what was discussed in a corridor.
We also assist with director duties, corporate governance frameworks, and restructuring exercises where timing and sequencing matter as much as the legal substance of each instrument.
Regulatory & Compliance
Singapore's regulatory landscape spans MAS licensing requirements, ACRA corporate obligations, PDPC data protection duties, and sector-specific frameworks across financial services, healthcare, and technology. We help organisations build compliance programmes that are practical to operate — not binders that gather dust on a shelf.
When inquiries arrive from regulators, our counsel focuses on structured response: assembling facts, identifying exposure, drafting representations, and sequencing next steps to minimise disruption to your business. We have advised clients through MAS information requests, PDPC investigations, and ACRA compliance reviews with a consistent emphasis on documented reasoning.
Proactive compliance audits and policy drafting are available as fixed-fee engagements where scope permits, giving your board predictable costs and a clear deliverable on the case ledger.
Employment & Workplace
Employment law in Singapore balances statutory protections under the Employment Act with contractual freedom in areas such as non-compete clauses, confidentiality, and incentive structures. We draft employment contracts, employee handbooks, and termination packages that comply with TAFEP guidelines and withstand scrutiny if disputes arise.
When workplace conflicts escalate — whether through internal grievances, MOM mediation, or Employment Claims Tribunals — we provide counsel that sequences options: negotiation first, formal proceedings only when commercial reality demands it. Our approach prioritises resolution where possible, but prepares the paper thoroughly when litigation becomes necessary.
We also advise on work pass applications, secondment arrangements, and cross-border employment issues for organisations with regional operations centred in Singapore.
Intellectual Property
Your brand, proprietary processes, and creative output represent significant commercial value. We assist with trade mark registration through IPOS, licensing agreements that protect your interests while enabling commercial partnerships, and IP assignment clauses in employment and contractor agreements.
When infringement occurs — whether through counterfeit goods, unauthorised use of trade marks, or misappropriation of confidential information — we map enforcement options from cease-and-desist letters through to High Court proceedings. Each step is sequenced on the ledger with cost-benefit analysis so you understand the commercial trade-offs before committing resources.
Technology clients receive particular attention on software licensing, open-source compliance, and data-related IP questions that intersect with PDPC obligations.
Dispute Resolution
Not every commercial disagreement requires court proceedings. We assess pre-litigation strategy carefully — evaluating the strength of your position, the cost of escalation, and the reputational implications of public dispute. Mediation and arbitration under SIAC rules are often faster and more confidential than State Courts or High Court litigation.
When court action is necessary, we prepare pleadings, manage discovery, and represent clients before Singapore's judiciary with the same sequenced discipline applied to advisory work. Our counsel lead remains accountable throughout — you will not be passed between associates without continuity or explanation.
We also advise on enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Singapore, a jurisdiction increasingly chosen for regional dispute resolution.
Private Client Advisory
Personal legal matters require the same procedural accuracy as commercial work, handled with discretion appropriate to family circumstances. We assist with estate planning, wills, lasting powers of attorney, and probate applications through the Family Justice Courts and Singapore Academy of Law.
For clients with cross-border assets or beneficiaries, we coordinate with foreign counsel to ensure Singapore instruments align with requirements in other jurisdictions. Our private client work is billed transparently, with fixed-fee options for standard wills and LPA applications where the factual matrix is straightforward.
We do not provide tax advice directly but work alongside your accountants and financial advisers to ensure legal structures support your broader wealth planning objectives without creating unintended compliance exposure.
