Our Value Proposition

Over the years, we have developed a deep expertise and specialty in corporate and commercial law with a particular focus in cross-border transactions and foreign investments across major investment hubs in Asia, in particular Singapore and Indonesia. Our vast regional experience enables us to help our clients resolve their most complex and challenging legal matters whenever they arise.

Our main areas of specialisation include corporate & commercial, mergers & acquisitions, cross-border transactions, market entry, employment, media and technology, real estate, as well as investment advisory.

Our approach to legal services

Our lawyers are commercially astute and have an established track record working closely with our clients to deliver sound legal advice tailored to the local environment and your needs, in an innovative yet practical manner. Together with our strong associations and contacts in the foreign jurisdictions where our clients do business, ASLC is well-positioned to add value and meet the increasing need for timely and effective legal services in Singapore and across Asia.

We make it our business to understand our client’s business. We are attentive and attuned to the developments in the industries we serve. With our deep understanding of our client’s businesses, we are able to provide our clients the best possible protection from a legal perspective, and provide sound legal solutions in their business ventures. We advise and draft legal documentation for our clients over the entire lifecycle of their companies - from corporate structuring, to financing, mergers & acquisitions, ongoing corporate governance and all their other transactional needs in between as they expand, so they can have peace of mind to focus on what is important – their business.

Our unique Indonesian advantage

Our dedicated associated office in Jakarta, Tuah & Suparto, comprises of competent and experienced professionals who are able to provide practical and well-rounded legal advice backed up by significant “on the ground” experience in areas including market entry strategies, retail operation strategies, structuring or restructuring, corporate expansions, finance, joint ventures, acquisitions, disputes and arbitration, and advisory on foreign investments in Indonesia. Coupled with our cross-border experience across the region, we are uniquely positioned to provide invaluable perspectives and know-how to help our clients navigate the challenging and evolving business, legal and political landscape to reap the economic benefits offered by the fast growing region. This is attested by our solid track record servicing clients from small and medium enterprises to multinational corporations, public listed companies, government and government-linked companies, statutory boards and private individuals.

In Singapore and Indonesia, our locally qualified lawyers have significant on-the-ground experience and have developed unique local knowledge and know-how, and have established close working relationships with local authorities over the years. This enables us to provide invaluable perspectives and assist our clients to navigate the local legal and business landscapes to achieve their business objectives.

Our regional advantage

We leverage on our overseas networks by working in close association with Tuah & Suparto in Jakarta and Nixon Peabody LLP, a Global 100 law firm, to provide one-stop legal solutions and services to our clients. Over the years, ASLC has strived to understand the pulse of businesses by building and maintaining strong industry connections with the Singapore Business Federation, the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, as well as the Chambers of Commerce in Singapore, Hong Kong, and France.

We are able to assume an active lead or transaction counsel role on cross-border transactions involving assets in multiple jurisdictions, and help coordinate advice from foreign counsel to provide you with seamless, practical legal advice on your regional matters.
