Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers to questions we hear often from businesses navigating commercial disputes.

How do I know whether to litigate, arbitrate, or seek mediation?

The right forum depends on several factors: the contract's dispute resolution clause, the counterparty's location, the size and nature of the claim, and whether the relationship is worth preserving. We review these considerations with you at the outset, so any decision about next steps is well-informed rather than reactive.

What types of commercial disputes does Kampong Law handle?

Our work covers breach of contract claims, shareholder and joint venture disputes, construction and engineering disagreements, sale of goods transactions, debt recovery, and investment-related matters. We work with both Singapore-based businesses and international parties with Singapore-connected disputes.

How long does a typical commercial dispute take to resolve?

Timelines vary considerably. A straightforward mediation may conclude within weeks; full litigation or arbitration proceedings can run from several months to a few years depending on complexity. We give you a realistic picture at the start of the engagement, not after considerable costs have been incurred.

Do you handle international arbitration, or only Singapore-seated matters?

We act for parties in both domestic and international proceedings, including those seated in Singapore under SIAC rules and international cases under ICC and UNCITRAL rules. Singapore's standing as a major arbitration centre means many cross-border disputes have a Singapore connection that we can assist with.

What should I bring to an initial consultation?

Ideally, bring the relevant contract or agreement, any correspondence with the counterparty, and a brief summary of the dispute as you understand it. The more context we have at the outset, the more useful the initial review will be. You do not need to have everything organised — we can work through it together.

How are fees structured for dispute resolution matters?

Fees depend on the scope and complexity of the engagement. Mediation matters typically follow a fixed-fee structure from SGD 480; arbitration representation from SGD 1,380; and litigation advisory from SGD 1,500. We discuss fee arrangements transparently before any work begins, so there are no unexpected costs.
