Frequently Asked Questions

I am an SME. Do I still need to hire a corporate lawyer?

It might seem like only large MNCs involved in high-value, high-stakes transactions need to hire corporate lawyers. However, this is not the case. Even SMEs can benefit from working with a corporate lawyer for the drafting and reviewing of contracts, resolution of shareholder disputes, regulatory compliance and the handling of other commercial law matters.

In short, as long as you operate a business, a corporate lawyer will likely prove an asset as you deal with corporate issues that crop up along the way.

What is the difference between a litigation lawyer and a corporate lawyer?

A litigation lawyer is a lawyer that specialises in the taking of legal action in court. Such legal actions can stem from different areas of law, such as corporate law, defamation or criminal law.

In contrast, a corporate lawyer is a lawyer who specialises in just the area of corporate law. Corporate law matters can be non-contentious in the sense that they do not involve a legal dispute. Examples of non-contentious corporate matters include contract drafting and employment advisory.

However, corporate law matters can also be contentious and involve a legal dispute among different parties. For example, some shareholders may want to sue a company director in court for a breach of director’s duties. In this case, the corporate lawyer representing the shareholders will be involved in corporate litigation work, and play the role of a litigation lawyer.

It’s a common misconception that litigation lawyers go to court while corporate lawyers do not. Unless they do only non-contentious work, however, corporate lawyers may also go to court if the need arises.

What are the kinds of legal matters that a corporate lawyer handles?

In general, corporate lawyers handle any kind of legal matters that involve businesses. These matters include:

Contract review and drafting;
Company registration and incorporation;
Breaches of commercial contracts;
Employment advisory;
Fintech compliance;
Intellectual property registration; and
Resolution of shareholder disputes.

However, some corporate lawyers may choose to offer only certain types of corporate law services. Thus, as you contact corporate lawyers, do check if they can assist you with your specific matter.

How do I choose the best corporate lawyer in Singapore for my matter?

Among other factors, the best corporate lawyer for your matter will be the one:

Who has a depth of experience dealing with matters similar to yours;
Who understands the unique circumstances that your business faces;
With whom you can connect, and are confident that they will handle your matter well; and
Who charges reasonable fees that you can afford.

Acquiring the services of a corporate lawyer is an investment in the success of your business objectives. Take the time to identify the right lawyer for your needs.

What is the cost of hiring a corporate lawyer in Singapore?

There are various fee structures for corporate work.

For example, corporate lawyers may charge an hourly rate for matters that are more unpredictable in nature. This usually applies to commercial litigation work, such as the drafting of the necessary court papers and attending court. Hourly rates may range from $200 to $1200 or higher.

Corporate lawyers may also provide fixed-fee packages for work with predefined scopes. Fixed-fee rates are especially common for standard contract drafting work. Under this arrangement, for example, a corporate lawyer may offer to draft a contract for a flat fee inclusive of one or two rounds of revisions.

For instance, some firms charge a fixed fee of $2,000 for drafting an Employee Share Option Scheme, with fees for other complex contracts ranging to above $7,000. Some other firms offer a fixed-fee package starting at $800, for a standard service agreement and business consultation, with optional add-on services.

That said, recognising that clients value having fee certainty, corporate lawyers may also charge fixed fees for various stages of commercial litigation.
