Matters where counsel made the difference
The following examples illustrate the types of engagements we handle. Details are anonymised or composite to protect client confidentiality. Outcomes vary by facts and are never guaranteed in future matters.
Featured matter
Series A documentation sprint
A venture-backed logistics platform needed to close a Series A round within six weeks while resolving legacy shareholder inconsistencies. LawPoint restructured the cap table, drafted an amended shareholders' agreement, and coordinated investor counsel across three jurisdictions. The round closed on schedule with no post-completion disputes.
Client outcome
MAS licensing pathway
A payments startup approached us after receiving conditional approval queries from MAS. We prepared supplementary submissions, redesigned internal AML policies, and trained the compliance team on ongoing reporting obligations. Full approval followed within the regulator's revised timeline.
Shareholder mediation
Two co-founders of a consumer brand reached an impasse over equity splits and board control after a failed regional expansion. Rather than proceeding directly to litigation, we facilitated a structured mediation over three sessions, resulting in a buyout mechanism and revised vesting schedules. Both parties continued operating the business during negotiation, preserving revenue and staff morale.
Cross-border joint venture
A Singapore holding company partnered with an Indonesian manufacturer to establish a joint venture for industrial components. LawPoint drafted the joint venture agreement, advised on foreign investment filing requirements, and aligned IP licensing terms with the group's existing portfolio. Completion involved coordinated signings in Singapore and Jakarta within a single week.
Employment restructuring
An established professional services firm needed to reduce headcount by fifteen percent while maintaining key client relationships. We designed a retrenchment programme compliant with MOM guidelines, prepared communication scripts for team leads, and negotiated settlement packages with affected senior employees. No claims were filed following the exercise.
Trade mark portfolio review
A food and beverage group expanding across ASEAN asked us to audit its trade mark registrations and pending applications. We identified gaps in Class 43 coverage, filed additional applications in priority markets, and renegotiated a problematic co-existence agreement with a former distributor. The review prevented a costly rebrand in two launch markets.
