Divorce
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.
Kim has been a divorce lawyer with 32 years of experience. She is fully equipped with the necessary traits and personality to represent the client in his or her best interests and to bring the matter to a fair resolution.
We are able to take instructions on the spot, analyse your concerns and prepare the necessary court papers to address your needs. In most law firms, this will mean taking a span of a few weeks for the same to be prepared but we understand that time is of the essence in such matrimonial matters and we pride ourselves to offer fast, prompt and efficient service at all times.
The preparation of an Affidavit can be prepared on the spot and will be fine-tuned based on furher instructions to be given. The same speed and prompt service will be given when there is a need to file a reply Affidavit in such court process.
All these translate to time efficiency which means costs savings on your part.
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
Insofar as Lasting Power of Attorney drafting is concerned, it can also be done on the spot so long as the relevant information is given and is available.
All this translates to time efficiency which means costs savings on your part coupled with the fact that for most clients, they wish to have their LPA settled in the fastest manner and efficiently without mistakes being made.
We are listed in the TOP TEN lawyers who offer LPA services in Singapore so look no further if you are looking for fast, efficient, competent and reliable lawyers for your needs.
Usually, LPA drafting goes hand in hand with making a will and we are able to get both legal documents done together in one attendance which will save time and money to the clients.
Corporate
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.
Apart from the usual corporate secretarial work, we provide legal advice and opinion on corporate matters as well. Our costs and turnaround time for drafting contracts and contract review are competitive and fast.

Grateful to Ms Kim for professionally and patiently guiding me through the whole entire process providing practical advice & prompt updates. Ms Kim consultation was clear and helpful in understanding my options moving forward.
I highly recommended Ms Kim & her team to whoever seeking legal representation or advice.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Ms. Lim and Nadiah for their legal assistance throughout this ordeal. They had been very thorough and meticulous in handling my case, ensuring that I’m not on the losing end of the battle. I’m really thankful for all they have done for me thus far! Thank you!
Needed some notarization done and engaged Kim & Co for the job – simple, fuss free and fast! Very impressed with their efficiency and speediness
The CFO of my former employer recommended me to use M/s Kim & Co, Advocates & Solicitor, for any legal issues in Singapore our start-up company may face.
It was a great recommendation.
M/s Kim & Co. has been of great help to us to find an amicable solution for a legal problem, analysing the build up and the legal situation, giving us a frank picture of our possibilities, and then accompanying us through the process till finding an amicable agreement.
We highly appreciated the fact that M/s Kim & Co has been forthcoming and didn’t charge us each and every hour they spent on our case.
We will continue to use M/s Kim & Co. for other issues and can highly recommend, in particular to Small and Medium sized companies, to contact M/s Kim & Co and use their services.
