    Contracts built for Singapore law, not adapted from elsewhere.

    My Legal Pal drafts and reviews contracts for startups, founders, and established businesses operating in Singapore and across the region. Every agreement is written for Singapore’s legal framework, not pulled from a US or Indian template and not generated by software.

    Singapore runs on English common law, which gives parties wide freedom of contract, but that freedom cuts both ways: a poorly drafted clause is usually enforced exactly as written. The Employment Act and the Tripartite Guidelines set the floor for hiring. The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) governs how you handle customer and employee data. Company documents have to sit correctly alongside ACRA requirements and the constitution. And because Singapore is one of the world’s leading arbitration seats, your dispute-resolution clause is often the most valuable clause in the contract.

    Whether you need an NDA, a master service agreement, a shareholders’ agreement, a SAFE or convertible note, an employment contract, a SaaS agreement, or a cross-border commercial deal, the document is built for your commercial position and for enforceability in Singapore. We provide contract drafting with fixed fees and standard contracts in 24 to 48 hours.

    The contracts that cause damage are the ones that looked fine.

    Most contract problems in Singapore are not obvious at signing. Under common law, courts hold parties to the words they agreed, so a loose clause is rarely rescued later. The cost of getting it wrong shows up only when the deal goes sideways.

    Freedom of contract cuts both ways

    Singapore law gives you wide latitude to agree what you like, which means the drafting carries the weight. An ambiguous liability cap or a vague scope clause will usually be read as written, not as you hoped. We draft so the words say exactly what you mean.

    The Employment Act sets the floor

    The Employment Act and the Tripartite Guidelines set minimum terms for many employees, and restraint-of-trade clauses are enforced only so far as they protect a legitimate proprietary interest and are reasonable. An over-broad non-compete usually fails. We draft employment terms that comply and hold.

    The PDPA governs your data

    If you handle personal data of customers or staff, the Personal Data Protection Act sets consent, purpose, and protection obligations. Your privacy policy, consent flows, and data processing terms have to reflect it. We draft these to the PDPA, not a foreign regime.

    Your arbitration clause is an asset

    Singapore is a top global arbitration seat, and a well-drafted SIAC clause, with the right seat, rules, and language, can be the difference between fast enforcement and a stranded judgment. We draft dispute-resolution clauses on purpose, not as boilerplate.

    In a common law jurisdiction, the contract is the deal. A clause drafted loosely is usually enforced loosely, against you.

    What makes a Singapore contract actually hold up

    The clauses and rules most often missed in template contracts. Tap to expand each.

    01
    A dispute-resolution clause chosen on purpose
    +
    Governing law, seat, rules, and language matter. A clear SIAC arbitration clause, or a considered choice of the Singapore courts, can decide whether you enforce quickly or get stuck. We draft it deliberately, not as boilerplate.
    02
    Restraints that are actually enforceable
    A non-compete holds only so far as it protects a legitimate proprietary interest and is reasonable in scope, time, and area. An over-broad restraint usually fails. We draft narrow, defensible clauses, backed by confidentiality and non-solicitation.
    03
    Liability caps and indemnities that mean something
    +

    “The supplier shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever.”

    A clear cap, carve-outs for confidentiality and IP, and indemnities scoped to real risk, drafted to be read as written under common law.

    04
    PDPA-compliant data terms
    +
    Consent, purpose limitation, protection, and transfer obligations under the PDPA, reflected in your privacy policy and data processing terms, not a copied foreign template.
    05
    Company terms aligned with ACRA and the constitution
    +
    A shareholders’ or founders’ agreement clause that contradicts the company constitution or ACRA requirements can be unenforceable against the company. We align the documents so the governance actually works.

    Frequently asked

    Can you draft contracts under Singapore law?
    Yes. We draft NDAs, service agreements, SaaS terms, shareholders’ and founders’ agreements, and commercial contracts for Singapore’s common law framework, accounting for the Employment Act, the PDPA, ACRA requirements, and the right dispute-resolution clause.
    Are non-competes enforceable in Singapore?
    Only so far as they protect a legitimate proprietary interest and are reasonable in scope, duration, and area. Over-broad restraints are usually struck down. We draft narrow, defensible restraints backed by confidentiality and non-solicitation clauses.
    Should my contract use SIAC arbitration or the Singapore courts?
    It depends on the counterparty, where assets sit, and how you want to enforce. Singapore is a leading arbitration seat and a SIAC clause is often ideal for cross-border deals, while the courts may suit domestic ones. We advise on the right choice and draft it precisely.
    Do your contracts comply with the PDPA?
    Yes. We draft privacy policies, consent terms, and data processing agreements aligned with the Personal Data Protection Act, covering consent, purpose limitation, protection, and data-transfer obligations.
    How long does a contract take?
    Standard contracts such as NDAs and service agreements are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours. Complex documents like shareholders’ agreements take 3 to 5 business days. Urgent work is available.
    Do you review contracts I have already received?
    Yes. We review a counterparty’s draft, flag the risks, suggest revisions in tracked changes, and explain what you would actually be agreeing to before you sign.
    Do you handle cross-border and regional deals from Singapore?
    Yes. Singapore is a regional hub, and cross-border contracts are a core part of the practice. We draft governing-law, jurisdiction, and arbitration clauses built for enforceability across APAC.
    What does it cost?
    Fixed fees set by the complexity of the contract. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices. You get a precise quote after a short conversation, with no obligation.
