Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose a lawyer for commercial litigation in Singapore?
When you seek commercial dispute resolution in Singapore, you will benefit from having an experienced legal team by your side with a solid track record of handling similar cases. You can start by reviewing lawyers’ websites and checking their public reviews, and then contact their commercial litigation team for an initial consultation.
Do I need a lawyer for commercial litigation?
While the law doesn’t require you to have a lawyer to start commercial litigation in Singapore, engaging an experienced legal team can significantly increase the chances of reaching a favourable outcome. Commercial dispute lawyers are well-versed in handling breaches of business contracts and other violations, regularly representing clients in court, and can help you mount a strong legal strategy.
What are the legal fees for your business litigation services?
At IRB Law, we offer transparent and affordable fees for all legal services, including commercial litigation. Our legal fees depend on the type of your legal matter and the scope of required involvement. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a non-binding consultation on applicable legal fees and how we can help you settle your claim.

What types of commercial disputes do you handle?
Our commercial litigation lawyers in Singapore handle all types of business disputes, including breaches of contract, debt recovery, shareholder and partnership disputes, IP rights infringements, and more. Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your legal matter and how we can assist with your case.
When should I consider litigation for my business dispute?

In Singapore, courts look favourably on parties to a business dispute who attempt to resolve it through negotiations before filing a claim. Many commercial contracts also contain clauses requiring parties to try to resolve disputes through negotiations first.

In most cases, it is more expedient to explore other options, including negotiations, sending a Letter of Demand, or resorting to mediation and arbitration before filing a claim. If all attempts to resolve a legal matter out of court fail, the litigation becomes a strong option.

How long does it usually take to settle a commercial dispute in court in Singapore?
If the parties fail to settle their commercial dispute out of the courtroom, the court proceedings can take from several months up to a year or longer, depending on the complexity of the case. Additionally, some cases involving limited factual disputes may be resolved under the Express Track scheme, aiming at a timeframe of 9 months after placement. Notably, the decisions made by a judge in an action placed on the Express Track are generally non-appealable.
What happens if the other party doesn't comply with the court decision?
If you have a court decision in a commercial dispute in your favour but the other party fails to comply, you can file an application with the court for enforcement. The enforcement options include a Writ of Possession, a Writ of Seizure and Sale, a Writ of Delivery, garnishee proceedings, and other alternatives depending on your case. Please don’t hesitate to contact our legal team to explore enforcement options in commercial dispute resolution in Singapore, which could be available in your case.
