Common issues in Corporate
and Commercial Advisory.

Contracts and
Business Agreements

In Singapore, a valid contract requires clear offer and acceptance, an intention to create legal obligations, and consideration by both parties. The Electronic Transactions Act further modernises this foundation, confirming that contracts can be formed digitally, seamlessly adapting to contemporary e-commerce and cross-border transactions. Courts apply a high threshold before implying terms into a contract, strengthening predictability and safeguarding commercial certainty.

Business-Friendly
Regulations

Internationally recognised as one of the most pro-business jurisdictions, Singapore combines regulatory transparency with commercial flexibility. Key compliance requirements include:

  • Corporate taxation and filings with IRAS
  • Annual returns with ACRA
  • GST registration and reporting
  • Employment and labour law compliance
  • Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) obligations
  • Competition and fair-trading regulations

This balance between discipline and flexibility has made Singapore a global hub for foreign investment, corporate governance, and commercial dispute resolution.

Our clients’ words. Not ours.

In times of personal distress, Ms. Huang not only handled the legal complexities with great skill but also demonstrated genuine care for my well-being. That human touch, combined with her professionalism and legal acumen, made an immense difference for me during a very vulnerable time.

I highly recommend Ms. Shari Huang for her exceptional care and unwavering dedication. Her thorough understanding of the law combined with her compassionate approach made a significant impact during my case. She not only addressed my concerns with professionalism but also took the time to ensure I felt supported throughout the process. She is one of the rare lawyers who truly cares about her clients and is committed to achieving the best outcomes.
