Corporate & Commercial Practice

About

Corporate and Commercial work is not merely a matter of legal expertise – a firm grasp of the realities of the commercial world is often equally important.

Having garnered a wealth of experience from numerous industries and practice areas, our corporate lawyers are well placed to work with you to grow and safeguard your businesses. As we are strong proponents of bespoke solutions, we are committed to first understanding your business philosophies and strategies. We then offer customised and practical solutions aligned to your business philosophies and strategies. A testament to this commitment is our roster of long-standing clients who have followed our corporate lawyers for years and, in some cases, even decades.

Transactional Work

We advise on a wide range of commercial transactions from mergers and acquisitions, equity, and debt financing to multi-party regional joint ventures.

Our thorough and thoughtful due diligence exercises have often uncovered concealed landmines which we then manoeuvre through deftly with our clients, remembering always that we are here to facilitate and not frustrate a deal.

We have exhaustive experience in negotiating and drafting transactional agreements. These include subscription agreements, joint venture agreements, sale and purchase agreements relating to goods and services across a wide range of industries from fashion to finance.

Of particular note is our expertise in Technology related goods and services. We are able to advise clients on all aspects of the law relating to the provision of technology-related services, the commercial exploitation of technology and technology-related assets, and potentially contentious transactions regarding technology-related issues. We have, among others, been involved in transactions for Industry Machinery, Integrated Circuit Boards, Electronic Devices, and the provision of IT Infrastructure for businesses operating in the financial sector.

Regulatory Compliance and Crisis Management

Trident Law’s exposure to regulatory compliance and crisis management is undoubtedly unique among boutique law firms in Singapore.

Given our extensive experience with both white and blue collar criminal work, Trident Law is well equipped to advise clients on a broad spectrum of regulatory issues. We have dealt with regulators on our client’s behalf on numerous occasions and have been known for our holistic, unconventional, and creative approach to solving regulatory problems.

We also provide advice on regulatory risk management – in particular, we have advised our clients on the creation and maintenance of internal compliance procedures. However, even the most stringent risk management regime can never be fool-proof. In such circumstances, Trident Law also does crisis management for our clients, be it suspected internal fraud, regulatory breaches, or criminal investigations.
