Singapore

Mori Hamada was one of the first Japanese law firms to open an office in Singapore in 2012. Since then, we have gained significant experience in advising on a wide range of matters, including M&A, JVs, financing, real estate development, litigation, arbitration, compliance and regulatory matters, and labor issues.

Singapore has already made considerable progress in developing its legal and judicial systems, solidifying its status as an international legal hub. This makes it increasingly important to leverage Singapore for not only local business activities but also cross-border M&A and investment with neighboring countries, as well as international arbitration and mediation. The importance of utilizing international arbitration and mediation in Singapore continues to grow. Furthermore, the judicial system is constantly evolving, with the creation of new institutions such as the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC).

In light of Singapore’s unique position as an international legal hub, we work closely with local law firms to provide legal services to clients doing business in Singapore based on our considerable experience, as well as to regional companies overseeing operations in neighboring countries from Singapore. Our collaboration with local law firms ensures that we deliver comprehensive legal services grounded in our wealth of experience.
