Singapore

Asia-Pacific

Singapore is a global centre for Asian inbound and outbound trade and investment, acting as a major hub for international arbitration and home to the Asia Pacific Head Offices of many international companies. With almost a decade in the region, we have invested heavily in relationships, using our Singapore base as a seat to help our clients across every key Asia Pacific jurisdiction.

CMS in Singapore is a full service office that services the Asia Pacific region. We advise international and national businesses doing business with, and in, Singapore and Asia. We are one of the few international law firms able to provide businesses with Singapore law advice through our association with Holborn Law. We also have a tried and trusted network of local lawyers in every key Asian jurisdiction and actively manage and review these relationships to make sure we work with the best teams in each jurisdiction.

With effect from 1 September 2017, CMS is pleased to announce a formal law alliance (FLA) between its Singapore office and Singapore law practice Holborn Law LLC. The FLA, which has received approval from the Legal Services Regulatory Authority of Singapore, will operate under the name CMS Holborn Asia.

Our lawyers based in Singapore are qualified across the UK, Singapore, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. Many also have native bilingual proficiency in many languages, including Bahasa Malay, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Tamil. If you do business in or around Singapore, please reach out via our online contact form or give us a call.
