FAQ

Plain answers before you open a file

These answers describe how LawLife Law Corporation runs legal services in Singapore. They are general information — not legal advice. No solicitor–client relationship forms until conflict checks and a signed letter of engagement.

Is LawLife a lifestyle (.life) brand, a law course / academy, a 'guaranteed win' service, or a debt-collection scheme?

No. We are a Singapore law practice offering advisory, drafting and dispute support under a signed letter of engagement. The .life TLD is branding only — this is not lifestyle, wellness or coaching. We do not run a law course, do not sell a legal-tech subscription, do not guarantee case outcomes, and do not run debt-collection or claims-farming schemes. “Law” means legal practice. Website content is general information, not legal advice; no solicitor–client relationship forms until conflict checks and a signed engagement letter — see our disclaimer on the terms page.

How do consultations and appointments work?

Request a consultation via the contact form or call +65 6642 3817. We schedule an appointment during Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00 SGT at our Cecil Street chambers (or by call where appropriate). We collect high-level facts only until a conflict check clears and a letter of engagement is signed. Client care includes confirming who will attend and what documents to bring after engagement.

What affects indicative SGD fee estimates?

Scope of work, urgency, document volume, number of parties, and whether dispute resolution or litigation support is required. Corporate advisory and commercial contract drafting differ from wills and probate or employment advisory. Figures on the services page are fee estimate ranges in S$ only — not fixed packages. We revise estimates when scope changes.

What is a letter of engagement and a conflict check?

A conflict check confirms we can act without conflicting duties. A letter of engagement records parties, scope of work, fees, confidentiality and jurisdiction under Singapore law. Until both exist, browsing or emailing does not create a solicitor–client relationship. Retainer arrangements use the same documents with a longer horizon.

How do you handle confidentiality and PDPA?

Confidentiality is part of professional duty once engaged. Enquiry data on this site is handled under our Privacy Notice and the PDPA. Do not send privileged or highly sensitive materials through the web form before formal engagement. Legal professional privilege may apply to certain communications after engagement — not to casual website messages.

How long do matters take?

Timelines depend on facts, counterparty behaviour and court or registry queues where relevant. Contract drafting may take days or weeks; dispute resolution can take much longer. We give ranges after scoping — never guarantees.

What do you not do?

We do not guarantee outcomes, payouts or immigration results. We do not run law courses or academies as our offer. We do not sell legal-tech subscriptions. We do not farm accident claims or debt-collection leads. We do not pitch income schemes or lifestyle coaching. We do not practise outside the legal services we can properly scope under Singapore law.

Which practice areas can I start with?

Corporate advisory, commercial contract work, dispute resolution and litigation support, wills and probate, employment advisory, and private consultation or retainer enquiries. Conveyancing-related questions may arise inside estate or commercial files; we will say if a separate specialist is needed. Regulatory compliance questions are advisory under engagement, not a badge marketplace. Market Street and Raffles Place businesses are welcome; geography does not change the method.

How do I start a matter?

Send an enquiry, take the appointment, complete conflict checks, sign the letter of engagement, and then share the fuller paper trail. That order protects both sides. For Law Society of Singapore regulatory context in general terms, see our legal notice.

Outcomes depend on facts and law. We do not guarantee results. Fees are estimates. This FAQ is not legal advice.
