FLs and FLPs may publish factual, informative client briefings and commentaries about Singapore law, provided they do not hold out that they are qualified to practise Singapore law beyond what is permitted under their registration and licence.

Therefore, if an article has been written by or with input from a Singapore solicitor, the article should be properly attributed to the Singapore solicitor and his/her law practice. If the Singapore solicitor is a member of an affiliated Singapore law practice, the full name of the Singapore law practice should be used.

Where a FLP has independently produced the article, a suitable caveat should be included, such as the sample provided below.

Sample Wording:

"[Name of foreign law practice] is licensed to operate as a foreign law practice in Singapore. Where advice on Singapore law is required, we will refer the matter to and work with licensed Singapore law practices where necessary."
