FAQs

Common questions about disputes, costs, and how we work.

How much does it cost to engage a litigation lawyer?

Legal fees depend on the nature and complexity of the dispute. For straightforward matters, we may offer a fixed fee arrangement or a hybrid arrangement broken down into stages. For more complex litigation or arbitration - where the scope of work evolves over time - we typically work on a time-and-materials basis. We are always transparent about costs upfront and will provide an estimate after understanding your matter.

I'm facing a commercial dispute. How do I know if I need a lawyer?

If you are involved in a disagreement that could result in financial loss, regulatory exposure, or damage to your business relationships, it is worth seeking legal advice early. Common triggers include breach of contract, shareholder conflicts, employment disputes, or allegations of misconduct. The earlier you engage counsel, the more options are typically available to you and the less missteps to undo down the road.

What types of disputes does Jireh Law handle?

We act in a broad range of commercial and civil disputes, including breach of contract, shareholder and joint venture disputes, debt recovery, employment matters, landlord-tenant conflicts, and white collar crime. We also advise on internal investigations, regulatory probes, and crisis management for corporates.

What is the difference between litigation and arbitration?

Litigation is the process of resolving disputes through the Singapore courts - it is a matter of public record. Arbitration is a private, confidential process where an independent arbitrator makes a binding decision. Both can be used to resolve commercial disputes; the appropriate route depends on the terms of your contract and the nature of the matter. We have experience in both.

How long does a typical dispute take to resolve?

Timelines vary significantly. A straightforward contractual dispute may resolve within a few months through negotiation or mediation. More complex matters - particularly those involving arbitration or Supreme Court proceedings - can take one to five years. We will give you a realistic assessment of the likely timeline at the outset based on prior experience, so you can plan accordingly.

Can I switch lawyers if I already have legal representation?

Yes. The client is entitled to change legal representation at any stage of proceedings if they so wish. If you are considering a change, we can review your matter and advise on the transition process, including the handover of documents and any cost implications. There is no obligation - we are happy to provide an initial assessment first.
