Only licensed law practices in Singapore can apply to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority ("LSRA") to register foreign-qualified lawyers, who should be duly authorised or registered to practise law in a state or territory by an authority having the function conferred by law of authorising or registering persons to practise law in that state or territory.

A foreign-qualified lawyer who wishes to practise law in or from Singapore will need to first be offered employment by a licensed law practice in Singapore, which will then apply to the LSRA to register them as a foreign lawyer under the Legal Profession Act.
