The situations you actually hit

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

Buying, leasing and building across Singapore means legal shows up at the worst moments, usually with a signature deadline attached. These are the ones property and PropTech founders bring us most, and what changes when a senior lawyer already owns them.

  • A real estate agent in a navy suit gestures toward the city skyline while a female client looks on in a bright high-rise living room.
    Leases01 / 05

    A landlord sends a lease on their paper with a signing deadline

    Who handles it

    We redline the tenancy or commercial lease so the rent review, reinstatement, break clause and repair obligations stay fair, and hand it back before the deadline bites.

  • A real estate developer sits at an office desk marking up architectural floor plans, surrounded by building renderings, a laptop and a notebook.
    Sale and purchase02 / 05

    A sale and purchase agreement lands and conveyancing is racing the clock

    Who handles it

    Option to purchase and the sale and purchase agreement reviewed, conditions and completion terms tightened, and conveyancing coordinated so the deal closes clean.

  • A real estate project manager in a hard hat and suit stands on an open air high-rise construction floor, holding rolled blueprints while looking out over the city skyline.
    Development deals03 / 05

    A co-owner or investor wants to develop the site together

    Who handles it

    The joint development or joint venture agreement drafted so contributions, control, profit split and exit are settled on paper before a brick is laid.

  • A real estate engineer in a hard hat is seen in profile on a construction site balcony, holding rolled blueprints with a tower crane and city skyline behind him.
    CEA and platform04 / 05

    Your marketplace is signing agents and the CEA rules are unclear

    Who handles it

    We map the Council for Estate Agencies rules to how your platform actually works, fix the licensing exposure, and paper your agent and listing terms accordingly.

  • A man in a dark suit and tie signs a contract on a wooden desk while another hand rests on the page, a glass of water and leather notebook beside him.
    Data and PDPA05 / 05

    Your app collects tenant and buyer data and payments run through it

    Who handles it

    Platform terms, escrow and payment flows papered, and PDPA consent and data-processing terms fixed across every tool that touches a tenant or buyer.

If it is legal and it touches your property or platform, it is in scope. Anything genuinely niche, we say so plainly and help you brief the right specialist.

What changes with us

The week you hand legal over, the deals stop stalling on you.

Not a promise of fewer problems. 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.

Daniel Kung, Founder & Principal, LDU Asia

  1. Commercial leases and tenancy agreements drafted and negotiated from either side, with rent reviews, break clauses, reinstatement and repair terms set so surprises land on the party that caused them.

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 property and PropTech founder runs this comparison eventually, usually after the first painful conveyancing bill or the first lease that went the wrong way. Here it is up front instead.

Hire a full-time GC

Overkill

S$300,000

a year, and climbing before equity

  • Six months to find and close the hire
  • One person covering leases, deals and data
  • More seat than a growing property firm needs

Keep calling a law firm

Unpredictable

S$3,200

this month, and the meter never stops

  • A different, bigger number every deal
  • No context on how your portfolio runs
  • Your completion deadline billed at a premium

Embed a fractional counsel

Right-sized

One capped fee

a month, agreed before we start

  • Senior counsel from day one
  • Knows your leases and deals 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 lease or the development deal 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 leases, deals, data flows and platform risk 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 lease 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.

Fit

Built for some firms. 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

  • Leases and deal documents pile up faster than you can read them
  • You are buying, developing or leasing across new sites
  • Development, JV or investor terms need papering before money moves
  • You run a PropTech platform that collects tenant or buyer data
  • Legal questions keep landing on the founder

You do not need it yet if

  • You have not incorporated or signed anything yet
  • You hold one property with a settled long lease
  • 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.
