We are a mid-sized boutique Singapore law practice that practises corporate law exclusively, with a focus on capital markets, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), regulatory compliance, private equity, private wealth and FinTech.
Our principal lawyers are senior practitioners who have each been in legal practice for at least 20 years and bring with them a wealth of deep experience.
We are industry-focused and client-oriented. We believe in getting to know our clients, their businesses and needs well, so that every legal solution we provide is not just timely but characterised by our hallmarks of Deep Practice, Deep Advice and Deep Learning.
Deep Practice: Our in-depth understanding of corporate law allows us to adapt our legal advice to the business and financial needs and issues of our clients.
Deep Advice: Our combined rich and deep experience equips us with the ability to provide clear, practical and thoroughly considered legal solutions.
Deep Learning: We are a dynamic bunch who are not afraid to relearn, reinforce and reapply our deep knowledge of corporate law. We ensure that we’re always up to date with not just the law but also the commercial and practical challenges of our clients’ businesses. We also harness technology to improve our practice with efficiency, which in turn, allows us to be truly client-centric.
We serve mainly a corporate clientele.
We support our clients through all stages of their corporate journey, from start-ups to becoming small and medium enterprises (SMEs), investors such as private equity funds and investee companies, to companies embarking on their initial public offerings and those already listed on major stock exchanges in the region and internationally.
We have close working relationships with several Catalist full and continuing sponsors, and provide legal support to their listed clients, as well as for their own regulatory compliance matters. Some of the preeminent leaders in the continuing-sponsor market are our business partners and valued clients.
Our clients are domestic and international, with diverse business pursuits such as funds and asset management, family offices, FinTech, and are in industries such as Property and Construction, Food & Beverage, Medical Services, and spread across countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong SAR and the People’s Republic of China.
