You’re doing a deal in Singapore. Structure, warranties and what survives completion are where the value actually moves.
Information, not advice
This page is information, not legal advice about your matter. A retainer begins only when a lawyer confirms it.
Start here
Agree the shape of the deal before anyone starts drafting
Share or asset, and whether ACRA filings or sector approvals are engaged. Changing course mid-drafting is expensive.
What to work through, in order
Deal structure
Share or asset, driven mainly by tax and by which contracts need consent to move. Stamp duty on share transfers is a live consideration.
Warranties and what survives completion
Warranty scope, disclosure and time and quantum limits determine what is recoverable. W&I insurance is now standard on mid-market deals.
Approvals and filings
ACRA filings, and approvals from MAS or a sector regulator where the target is licensed. Merger review by the CCCS applies above thresholds.
