In this area of law, the clients are emotional and highly affected by their circumstances especially where there are children issues concerned and there are livelihood issues to ensure that they have a roof over their heads.

They need someone who empathises with them, is able to lend a listening ear and to help translate all their feelings and concerns into writing so as to be able to reach out not just to the Courts and the judges but also, to their partner or spouse. More often than not, as they are emotionally charged, they are not able to see things in an objective manner and when the circumstances turn acrimonious which it normally does when they have already turned to lawyers, they need an objective person to help to reach out to the other party as well.

In divorce matters, the ultimate goal and objective is to reach an amicable solution of all matters without having the client and their children permanently scarred by the entire court process which can turn pretty ugly.

We advocate an alternative dispute resolution in the form of counselling first and then, mediation between the lawyers and the parties and if all else fails, then to attend third party Mediation which is usually conducted either in the Singapore Mediation centre or the Law Society Mediation Scheme.  

However, we do appreciate that it takes two to mediate and come to a settlement and if mediation fails, then, we will have to put forth the best case forward to the Courts and the judges.  The best case forward is not one that is measured in terms of dollars and cents. It is one which is fair and equitable in the circumstances of the case, which in any event, will be the yardstick measured and decided by the Courts and the Judges.

KNC is a small boutique law firm so we do not offer major corporate services like takeovers and mergers.  However, we cater for the common lay individuals and SMEs which are often boggled with the legal terms and phrases used in commercial contracts like Joint Venture Agreements, Sale and Purchase of assets and shares Agreement, Employment Agreement, Licence Agreement and the like.

We have been providing a personalised service in reviewing contracts on a piece meal basis for the past 16 years since the inception of KNC.  In addition thereto, we will normally offer a revised Clause if we are of the view that any term or Clause in such contracts are unfair and/or inequitable and recommend additional Clauses to offer protection to the clients if absent.

Our rates for contract review are most competitive and the turnaround time is fast and efficient which will complement the clients’ needs and requirements.

In addition, Kim has been a company secretary for many pte ltd companies since 2004.
