Hear Raving Reviews From Our Clients
I have entrusted all my legal affairs to Mark since 1997; from fundraising agreements in Singapore to litigation in the London Court of International Arbitration. He’s as quick off the mark in court as he is on his bicycle. Most importantly he takes a forensic evidence based approach which is in the interest of the small client, instead of burning fees on legal platitudes and litigation letters.

VanillaLaw provided me with excellent legal services and advice to navigate a complex case. Mark Goh and team always went above and beyond to accommodate our case and delivered excellent work in short timeframes. The advice we received was clearly presented and explained, and the strategy always considering the overarching objectives. They were very transparent and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend working with them.

I am very happy to have met Mark & Boon Gan. This is the first time I meet lawyers who are so open with NO hidden agenda. Boon Gan…Amazing Guy! He brainstormed there and then with Mark.

It was great working with the team. They were commercial minded and gave us the legal advice candidly, while always keeping the ultimate goal of closing the deal in sight. We would work with them anytime!

Image Engine Pte Ltd
I’m very thankful for Boon Chong’s help the past year. There were many times when I felt like giving up yet he always supported and encouraged me by giving me words of advice. Many times I felt helpless, however, I found hope through his advice especially with regards to law terms, which normal people like myself may not even know how certain terminologies can or cannot be advantageous for our cases. Thank you, Boon Chong. You’ve really made an impact on my life and I’ll never forget your kindness and patience. To anyone who is seeking advice from professional lawyers, I strongly recommend Boon Chong. He is a dedicated and professional lawyer who will go all out to fight for you.

Working with the VanillaLaw® and the GoSME teams has been a great experience. Not only did we tackle my legal needs, but we also worked on the business side of things. It was very effective and informative, working with a legal and a business team and seeing how law and business intersects – I really learned a lot.

Having the support of both the business and legal teams as I planned my business was a crucial element to ensuring I got off on the right foot. Through their advice and experience, we were able to properly assess the legitimacy of certain partnerships, and successfully steered clear of some red flags.
The seamless teamwork and the level of professionalism is something I deeply appreciate. It is clear that the teams at GoSME and VanillaLaw® are passionate and sincere about their goal to support SMEs.

We had a matter which went on to the mediation platform. The law firm assisted us to reach a prompt and fair settlement. The outcome of the mediation had a very positive effect on our company. The law firm handled our case in an extremely competent and professional manner.

Ours was a unique, probably first-of-its-kind, case in Singapore. Words cannot describe my gratitude to you for your wisdom and discernment as you fought for me during the process of justice culminating in the court mediation. Thank you once again.

Finding out facts, looking into clauses of the contract and how to argue. Overall very helpful advice. All questions clarified. Feel ready to go to court. Thank you very much.

Contracts are drafted to prepare a business owner for the worst case scenario. If that happens, you become vulnerable… and can potentially ruin the business. VanillaLaw® Docs is aimed at helping SMEs who cannot afford in-house lawyers.
