Singapore
Foundation and History
Since 15th November 2005 all advice given by the firm in Singapore is rendered by Thümmel, Schütze & Partners LLP, which was registered as independent entity. It generally concentrates on issues of German and South East Asian corporate law, international commercial law, international banking law, labour law in Germany and South East Asia as well as representation in court and arbitration proceedings in all matters relating to South East Asia, Germany or the European Union. Legal advice rendered to clients is usually related to one of the following topics:
- incorporation of subsidiaries, registration of branches and representative offices;
- contracts (mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and other corporate agreements, distributorship and agency agreements, employment, technology transfer and licence agreements, general conditions);
- intellectual property (registration of patents and marks, unfair competition, computer and media);
- immigration (application for work and general residential permits);
- representation in and counselling on litigation and arbitration before state courts and arbitral tribunals.
The success of doing business in Asia and with Asians is mainly based on mutual trust and confidence and, therefore, long established personal relationships. Over the last twenty years TSP has worked to build relationships with government bodies, authorities, economic organisations and renowned local law firms in all commercial centres in Asia. 1999 the service company TSP Corporate Services Pte Ltd was established. The company is headed by German and local lawyers. It renders supplementary services in the area of corporate secretarial matters and acts as trustee in particular in cases requiring direct participation of a local partner.
