"We needed to incorporate quickly before a funding round closed, and the team handled everything efficiently — keeping us informed at each step without us needing to follow up. The post-incorporation advisory period was genuinely useful."
Kevin Wee
Founder, SaaS Platform · Singapore
February 2026
"Our shareholders' agreement had a few unusual provisions around performance vesting. The counsel took time to understand what we were actually trying to achieve before drafting — rather than presenting something generic. The result reflected our actual arrangements clearly."

"As a German investor entering Singapore for the first time, I had questions about the locally-resident director requirement and how it worked in practice. The guidance was clear and practical. Incorporation completed without any complications."

"We engaged Temasek Counsel to advise on consolidating two operating entities into a single holding structure. The process involved IRAS considerations we hadn't anticipated. The team identified these early and adjusted the approach accordingly — saving us from a more complicated outcome later."
Tan Nguyen
Managing Director, Trading Group · Singapore

"Our family business had operated without a shareholders' agreement for over a decade. Bringing in a third-party investor prompted us to formalise things properly. The agreement prepared by Temasek Counsel addressed the specific dynamics of our family arrangement in a way that felt considered rather than formulaic."
Siti Cahyani
Director, Manufacturing Co. · Singapore

"I appreciated that the fee was stated clearly at the outset and didn't change. Some firms I'd spoken with gave estimates that came in higher — often significantly. Temasek Counsel did what they said they would do, at the price they quoted."

Case Studies
Client Journeys in Detail
Case Study 01 · Incorporation
The Situation
A Malaysian technology founder wished to establish a Singapore-incorporated entity as the primary vehicle for regional expansion, with two foreign co-founders and a planned seed round.
Our Approach
We advised on entity type selection, structured the share classes to accommodate future investment, arranged a locally-resident director, and completed ACRA registration within two business days of receiving signed documents.
Outcome
Entity incorporated and operational within the client's required timeline. Share structure accommodated the subsequent seed round without requiring amendment. Post-incorporation advisory used to navigate GST registration queries.
Case Study 02 · SHA Drafting
The Situation
A four-way joint venture between a Singapore entity and three Southeast Asian partners, each contributing different assets and expertise. No prior agreement existed and the parties had differing views on governance.
Our Approach
Consultation sessions with each party separately to understand priorities, followed by a balanced first draft. We facilitated two rounds of negotiation-related revisions, addressing the governance disagreements through tiered decision-making thresholds.
Outcome
All four parties executed the agreement within six weeks of the initial consultation. The governance framework has since been used to resolve two minor disagreements without escalation.
Case Study 03 · Restructuring
The Situation
A second-generation family enterprise operating through three separate entities — each with different ownership compositions — sought to consolidate into a holding structure ahead of a planned private placement.
Our Approach
Structural assessment revealed IRAS stamp duty implications that affected the optimal reorganisation route. We revised the proposed structure, prepared all transfer documentation, and coordinated required ACRA filings across the three entities.
Outcome
Consolidated holding structure established within the client's required timeframe. The amended approach reduced stamp duty exposure and positioned the group cleanly for the subsequent placement process.
