Services
Three services. One consistent approach.
Each service is structured to meet the client where they are — at the beginning of a difficult situation, in the course of proceedings, or at a point where resolution is being attempted.
← Return HomeOur methodology
How the firm approaches each matter.
Listen first
Before forming any view, the firm takes time to understand the facts, the relationships, and the client's own sense of what matters most. This is not a perfunctory step.
Advise clearly
Once the picture is clear, the firm provides a considered view — including the parts the client may find difficult to hear. Honest advice is more useful than comfortable advice.
Proceed carefully
With agreement on approach and fees, the firm moves forward at the pace the matter requires — neither faster nor slower than serves the client's interests.
Service one
Pavilion Sitting
SGD 170 · Single sitting
A first sitting in which you may set out the family's circumstances and receive a measured initial view. The work is unhurried; there is no expectation of further engagement. A brief written summary is delivered afterwards.
This service is appropriate for anyone who is at the beginning of a difficult family situation and wishes to understand their position before deciding what, if anything, to do. It is also suitable for those who have already formed a view and simply wish to have it tested by a practitioner.
- Confidential, private setting at our Beach Road office
- Duration as long as the matter requires
- Written summary of discussion and initial view included
- No obligation to instruct the firm further
What to expect
You set out the circumstances of your matter in your own words. There is no set order or format.
The solicitor asks questions to clarify the picture and establish the relevant legal context.
An initial view is offered. If further work is needed before a view can responsibly be given, this is explained.
A brief written summary is sent within two working days.
Service two
Steady Course in Divorce Matters
SGD 460 · Full representation
A representation service in divorce matters, conducted at a measured pace and with regard to your wellbeing. Quiet outcomes are preferred where they are possible. The firm manages the procedural steps, communicates with the other party's solicitor, and keeps you informed throughout.
This service covers the divorce proceedings themselves and extends to ancillary matters — the division of matrimonial assets, maintenance, and, in straightforward cases, custody arrangements. Where custody is contested, the Considered Mediation service may be the more appropriate initial path.
- Court filings prepared and submitted on your behalf
- Negotiations with the other party conducted by the firm
- Regular updates on the matter's progress
- Attendance at court hearings where required
- Ancillary matters addressed as part of representation
Typical stages
Initial assessment and preparation of pleadings.
Service and responses; negotiations on ancillary matters where agreement is possible.
Interim hearings, discovery (if required), and ancillary matters hearings if contested.
Final hearing and order. Post-order matters as required.
Service three
Considered Mediation
SGD 320 · Mediation support
Mediation work in custody and maintenance matters. The firm acts as your adviser throughout, prepares you for joint sessions, and conducts itself with restraint in those sessions. Workable, durable arrangements are the objective.
Mediation is often required by the Family Justice Courts before custody matters proceed to a hearing. Approaching it with adequate preparation, and with an adviser present, makes a material difference to the quality of the outcome and to the client's experience of the process.
- Pre-mediation preparation with the client
- Attendance at joint sessions as adviser
- Child-welfare framing throughout
- Review of any proposed agreement before signing
- Guidance on variation if arrangements need adjustment later
Typical stages
Pre-mediation session with the client to set out positions and priorities.
Attendance at the mediation session (typically one to three sessions).
Review and advice on any draft agreement reached.
If no agreement is reached: assessment of the next appropriate step.
