We are aware that not all companies can afford (or find it sustainable) to hire a full-time in-house legal counsel / legal department to oversee the legal affairs of the company. At Lim & Chang Partnership, we provide the option of “outsourcing” all your legal affairs by way of a monthly retainer with our firm. The benefits of doing so, instead of creating a permanent headcount in your company to hire an in-house legal counsel, are obvious:-

  • Lower costs;
  • Instead of one in-house counsel, you have access to a team of lawyers from our firm;
  • Correspondence can be issued on our firm’s letterhead to third parties in cases of disputes;
  • Being in active practice, we are updated on the most recent major legal developments which ensures our advice is always up to date; and
  • Our expertise extends beyond corporate advisory to dispute resolution. As such, we are strategically positioned to foresee and prevent disputes before they arise.
