About Us
Who We Are
Founded in 2014, we are a boutique-sized firm that practises corporate law exclusively, with a focus on capital markets, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), regulatory compliance and governance matters, private equity, private client and finance and FinTech.
We are ranked1 and recognised in Singapore as a firm that punches above our weight, due to the deep experience and expertise our principal lawyers have, especially in the areas of equity capital markets and regulatory compliance and governance.
We have 4 Directors who are all senior practitioners who have been in legal practice for at least 20 years each.
Being client-centric and providing a high-touch and attentive service is and continues to be our focus and unique value proposition. 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 different aspects of corporate law allows us to adapt our legal advice to the business and financial needs and issues of our clients.
Deep Advice: The combined rich and deep experience of our team equips us with the ability to provide clear, practical and thoroughly considered legal solutions.
Deep Learning: We are a diverse and dynamic bunch who are not afraid to relearn, reinforce and reapply our knowledge of corporate law. We ensure that we’re always up to date with not just the law but also the financial, commercial and practical challenges of our clients’ businesses. We actively embrace technology2 to improve our practice, which, in turn, allows us to be truly client-centric.

Who We Serve
We serve mainly a corporate clientele.
Our clients are domestic and international, with diverse business pursuits such as listed companies, funds and asset management, family offices, and are in industries such as property and construction, food & beverage, healthcare services, and spread across countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong SAR and the People’s Republic of China.
We are privileged to serve as trusted advisors to many of our clients, often from the beginning of their corporate journey, from start-ups to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to companies embarking on their initial public offerings and those already listed on major stock exchanges in the region and internationally, and we actively act for investors such as venture capital and private equity funds and their investee companies.
Our practice in the area of capital markets encompasses the entire spectrum of a listed issuer’s journey from its initial public offering and (if necessary) privatisation and delisting. We have close working relationships with many of the Catalist full and continuing sponsors operating in Singapore, and provide legal support to their listed clients, as well as for their own regulatory compliance matters, including pre-eminent leaders in the continuing-sponsor market who have been valued clients of our principal lawyers for 20 years or more.
In our private client practice, we advise family offices and high net-worth clients, both Singapore and regional, in relation to their investments and succession and legacy planning.
