IRB Law’s corporate lawyers have substantial experience across many areas of corporate and commercial law. Our size enables us to provide a personalised level of service, whilst having the capacity to handle large scale international transactions and cross-border corporate legal matters.

Unlike other law firms, we commonly operate on fixed fee arrangements, which provides you with certainty and transparency in planning your legal budgets. We advise a broad clientele, ranging from software and technology start-ups, family-owned businesses, to listed companies in Singapore and other jurisdictions.

Having professional advice on the structure and formation of your business will go a long way towards avoiding costly and protracted disputes in future, especially when the business does well and is profitable.

Handing over the reins

When you engage in business succession planning, you can feel confident in knowing the business will be taken care of after your retirement or death. Succession planning often involves transferring the ownership of the business, or buy-sell planning such as selling the business to other business owners, key employees and interested parties.

  • Business succession planning
  • Wealth protection

Retirement – winding up the business

You may decide for a number of reasons that you no longer want to, or can no longer run your business. Perhaps your business is struggling financially, and your creditors want to shut it down so they can collect the debts you owe. If you need legal advice on what route to take when closing your business, whether it’s solvent or insolvent, our corporate lawyers can help.

  • Restructuring
  • Insolvency
  • Crisis management

Contract Drafting & Review

A good solid contract is the foundation of all businesses. You boost your chances of success and eliminate potential drawbacks by having a lawyer draft and evaluate your contracts. This is the professional advice that ensures your contract meets your objectives, and reduces badly drafted or verbal agreements or lack of certain clauses, often based on free downloads or homemade efforts.
