Foreign-qualified lawyers who wish to provide legal services in or from a law practice in Singapore must be registered with the Legal Services Regulatory Authority ("LSRA").

LSRA only registers an individual who is duly authorised or registered to practise law in a state or territory other than Singapore by a foreign authority having the function conferred by law of authorising or registering persons to practise law in that state or territory. S/he must be qualified to practise independently in their principal jurisdiction and does not hold a restricted practising certificate.

Applications to register a foreign lawyer can only be submitted by a law practice licensed in Singapore.
