Do I need to be registered with the Legal Services Regulatory Authority ("LSRA") if I am visiting Singapore on a temporary basis for ad-hoc arbitration proceedings?

Question

Accepted Answer

Foreign lawyers who are visiting Singapore on a temporary basis for ad-hoc arbitration proceedings, are not required to register with the LSRA as long as they are providing legal services in their own name or that of an overseas law practice, and not through a Singapore-based entity. Please note that such individuals will still need to comply with the Ministry of Manpower's work pass requirements.
