Small-Business Legal Services in Singapore: Compare Published Enquiry Routes
Engaging a law firm for small-business matters in Singapore starts with confirming that the practice accepts your type of instruction. The comparison below sets out published enquiry routes so you can identify firms to approach. A published practice list is a starting point for discussion, not confirmation of acceptance, availability or outcome. Before instructing, confirm the responsible practitioner, conflict clearance, the scope and deliverables of the engagement, and the full fee basis.
3 published options covered. This is a selected shortlist, not every provider in the market. Research method and limits.
Disclosure: Some businesses in this guide are current or former Tendou clients. Client relationships are marked individually. No business paid for inclusion or ranking. About this publisher.

Published route
Before committing
Covenant Chambers
Publishes corporate/finance, employment, construction and dispute-resolution practice areas.
A website practice list does not confirm acceptance, lawyer availability, fees or an outcome. Ask for the exact scope, exclusions and quotation.
I.R.B. Law
Publishes corporate/commercial and contract-review routes alongside other legal areas.
Confirm the actual legal entity/practitioner instructed, conflict clearance, deliverables and fees. No award, staffing, capacity or case-outcome judgement is inferred.

Publishes corporate/commercial law including company formation, contract drafting, licensing and shareholder agreements.
Confirm the responsible practitioner, conflict clearance, deliverables and fees. Tendou provides website services.
Questions to settle before you choose
Does the firm accept the specific type of legal matter you need help with?
Who is the responsible practitioner, and have they confirmed they can act for you (including conflict clearance)?
What are the agreed deliverables, timeline and scope boundaries of the engagement?
Is the fee quoted as a fixed fee, hourly rate or other basis, and what exclusions or disbursements apply?
What happens if the scope of work changes or expands beyond the original engagement?
How will progress and completed work be communicated, and who is your point of contact?
Choose by what you need
Describe the work before choosing a firm: a contract review, employment issue, transaction and dispute are different instructions. Covenant Chambers publishes corporate/finance, employment, construction and dispute areas. I.R.B. Law publishes corporate/commercial, contract and dispute routes. Regal Law publishes corporate and commercial law including company formation, contract drafting, licensing and shareholder agreements; Tendou provides its website services. Ask the firm to confirm the responsible practice, conflicts check, deliverables and fee basis for your actual matter.
