The situations you actually hit

You have seen these weeks. Here is who handles them.

Building a regulated health product means legal shows up at the worst moments. These are the ones healthcare and medtech founders bring us most, and what changes when a senior lawyer already owns them.

  • A bearded doctor in a white coat and stethoscope sits at a desk, looking at a computer monitor fitted with a webcam, in an office decorated with a mission statement poster, framed certificate and family photo.
    HSA and devices01 / 05

    You cannot tell if your product is a medical device to HSA

    Who handles it

    We work through the classification with you, map the registration route (including software as a medical device), and get the regulatory story straight before you build the wrong evidence.

  • A woman in a cream blazer wearing a lanyard badge sits at a table, pen in hand, reviewing paperwork on a clipboard, with a hospital corridor and a staff member in scrubs visible behind her.
    HCSA and MOH02 / 05

    A telehealth launch needs a licence you did not budget for

    Who handles it

    We read your model against the Healthcare Services Act, flag what MOH will licence and when, and structure the offering so you are not retrofitting compliance after go-live.

  • A woman in a beige blazer sits at a table reading a stack of papers, with a tablet beside her and a hospital corridor with a staff member in scrubs visible through the glass behind her.
    Data and PDPA03 / 05

    A hospital wants a data-sharing agreement before it will integrate

    Who handles it

    The data-processing and data-sharing agreement drafted and negotiated so patient data, liability and residency all sit where they should, and the integration is not held up on legal.

  • Two men and two women in dark business suits sit around a polished wood table in a wood-paneled boardroom, reviewing paper documents together.
    Clinical and research04 / 05

    You are running a clinical study with a CRO and a research site

    Who handles it

    Clinical trial, CRO and research collaboration agreements papered so IP, indemnities, publication rights and patient consent are settled before the first participant is enrolled.

  • A senior businessman rests his chin on his hand while studying a bar chart and donut chart displayed on a boardroom screen.
    Fundraising05 / 05

    An investor's diligence stalls on your regulatory pathway

    Who handles it

    We assemble the regulatory and data-compliance picture into something a diligence team can sign off on, and fix the gaps before they cost you the round.

If it is legal and it touches your product, it is in scope. Anything genuinely niche (a novel device edge case, a foreign filing), we say so plainly and help you brief the right specialist.

What changes with us

The week you hand legal over, your pathway stops stalling.

Not a promise of guaranteed approvals. A set of concrete outcomes you feel almost immediately, because one senior lawyer now owns the whole surface instead of you.

The mandate

One senior lawyer owns all of it.

From the day your counsel starts, these stop being your problem. Everything on this list sits inside the same capped monthly fee.

  1. Medical device and software-as-a-medical-device classification, the registration route, and the labelling and post-market terms mapped so you build the right evidence the first time.

If it is legal and it is yours, it is in scope. And if you ever need a niche specialist, we say so plainly and help you brief them.

The math

Three ways to cover the legal. One of them makes sense.

Every healthcare and medtech founder runs this comparison eventually, usually after the first regulatory scare or the first six-figure quote. Here it is up front instead.

Hire a full-time regulatory counsel

Overkill

S$300,000

a year, and climbing before equity

  • Six months to find and close the hire
  • One person covering HSA, HCSA and data
  • More seat than an early product needs

Keep calling a law firm

Unpredictable

S$3,200

this month, and the meter never stops

  • A different, bigger number every month
  • No context on how your product works
  • Your urgency billed at a premium
Most founders choose this

Embed a fractional counsel

Right-sized

One capped fee

a month, agreed before we start

  • Senior counsel from day one
  • Knows your pathway by week two
  • Scale up, down or off, month to month

Full-time and law firm figures are Singapore market rates, not our pricing. Your capped number depends on volume: you get it in writing after the free call, before any work starts.

How it starts

From first call to working counsel in a week.

No onboarding project, no discovery phase billed by the hour. One call, one written number, one start date.

  1. Day 0

    A free call with Daniel

    Fifteen minutes with the senior lawyer, not a sales rep. Bring the classification question or hospital agreement that worries you most and leave with a straight answer, whether you hire us or not.

  2. Day 2

    A scoped mandate and one number

    We map your registration route, licences, data flows and contracts into a written mandate with a capped monthly fee. You see the number before you commit to anything.

  3. Day 7

    Your counsel is inside the business

    Daniel joins your channels, your team gets the app, and the pathway and contract backlog gets cleared first. Legal answers now arrive in hours, not weeks.

No retainers, no lock-in: the mandate renews monthly and you can stop any month.

  • Thanks to LDU and Daniel support, my business which was not well structure for couple months and having some issues is now good to operate. Extremely recommended for anyone not familiar with how Singaporean laws and banks work, it is much better to get great assistance at the beginning and start smoothly. Highly recommended.

Fit

Built for some founders. Honestly, not for all.

Read both lists. If the left one sounds like your month, the free call will be worth it.

You need this if

  • Device classification and HSA registration are on the critical path
  • You are launching telehealth or a service MOH may licence
  • Hospitals or clinics want data agreements before they integrate
  • You handle patient data and need PDPA (and often HIPAA) sorted
  • Legal and regulatory questions keep landing on the founder

You do not need it yet if

  • You have not incorporated or started building the product
  • You run a pure wellness app with no regulated claims or data
  • You need a courtroom litigator, not ongoing counsel

On the fence? Book the free call anyway. If a template or a cheaper option fixes it, Daniel will tell you so and point you there.
