Why Jalan Advisory
What We Bring
to the Table.
A focused practice structured around doing commercial documentation work well — rather than doing everything at surface level.

Six Reasons Clients Choose Us
Focused Practice
We handle commercial contract drafting, review, and digital policy work — and nothing else. That focus means depth where it matters, not coverage spread thin across an entire legal spectrum.
Commercial Experience
The team brings direct experience from commercial transactional environments. We understand how contracts function in practice, not only what they say in theory.
Accessible Communication
We explain what we find in plain terms. Deliverables include plain-language summaries alongside formal documents, so decision-makers — not just lawyers — can act on the information.
Transparent Pricing
Published fees and defined scope at the outset. Clients know what they are committing to before the engagement begins. No surprises, no open-ended billing structures.
Singapore-Specific Knowledge
Our practice is built around Singapore law, including the PDPA, Companies Act, and Sale of Goods Act. Work is grounded in the jurisdiction your business actually operates in.
Reliable Turnaround
Standard engagements are delivered within clearly communicated timeframes. We do not overbook. When you are told a draft will be ready, it will be ready.
In Depth
Each Benefit Explained
Professional Expertise
Benefit 01
The team at Jalan Advisory has practised commercial documentation for businesses across Singapore's main sectors — technology, professional services, logistics, and retail. This breadth of experience means we approach each new matter with an understanding of how similar arrangements have worked in practice.
- Cross-sector transactional background
- Familiarity with ASEAN commercial norms
- Direct experience with SME and startup requirements
What this means for you
When your contract arrives, we recognise familiar structures and common problem areas before we even begin the detailed review. That pattern recognition reduces the time needed and the likelihood of missing something that matters.
Digital Platform Capability
Benefit 02
Digital businesses operate under a different documentation framework than traditional services. We understand the requirements that apply to platforms collecting user data, processing transactions, and operating under the PDPA — and we draft policies that reflect those realities.
- PDPA-aligned privacy policy preparation
- Terms of service for SaaS and e-commerce models
- Acceptable use and refund policy drafting
What this means for you
Your digital policies protect your business and inform your users. We prepare them to satisfy both requirements — legally sound enough to rely on, and readable enough for the people they govern.
Client Service Quality
Benefit 03
Engagement with Jalan Advisory begins with a clear briefing conversation. We listen first, ask the right questions, and confirm our understanding of your objectives before any drafting begins. Progress is communicated throughout, and deliverables arrive when promised.
- One business day response time for enquiries
- Clear, structured deliverables
- Direct access to the team handling your matter
What this means for you
You should not need to chase for updates. At Jalan Advisory, the client contact for your matter knows the status of your work at all times, and keeps you informed without needing to be asked.
Defined Pricing
Benefit 04
Our services are priced transparently and published. Contract review from SGD 420. Commercial contract drafting from SGD 580. Digital policy preparation from SGD 350. Engagements beyond standard scope are discussed and agreed before any additional work is undertaken.
- Published fees for all standard services
- No additional charges without prior agreement
- SGD pricing — no currency conversion complexity
What this means for you
You can assess the cost of getting proper documentation before you commit to anything. There is no obligation to proceed after a consultation, and the engagement fee is known upfront.
Tangible Outcomes
Benefit 05
Documentation work should produce a result you can use. Every engagement with Jalan Advisory ends with a complete, usable deliverable — a finalised contract, a marked-up review with actionable commentary, or a finished policy document ready for deployment.
- Finalised, deployment-ready documents
- Actionable review commentary
- Follow-up questions answered without additional charge
What this means for you
At the close of an engagement, you have something concrete in hand — documentation that can be filed, signed, deployed, or used in negotiations. Not a report recommending further work.

Distinctive Features
What Sets Us Apart
No Template Approach
Every engagement begins with a briefing, not a template. While we draw on structured drafting frameworks, each contract is built to reflect the specific commercial objectives of that engagement — not pulled from a stock library and adjusted at the margins.
Honest Scope Assessment
We tell you at the start if your matter falls outside what we can appropriately handle. Some disputes, regulatory matters, or cross-border issues require full legal advice. We will say so, and if appropriate, direct you to suitable professionals.
Summary Memoranda Standard
Contract review deliverables always include a summary memorandum — a plain-language document that explains the key findings and recommended actions. This is standard, not an optional add-on charged separately.
SME-Oriented Approach
Most of our clients are small and medium enterprises who need practical, usable documentation — not advice structured for multinational transactions. We calibrate our work to the scale and reality of the businesses we serve.
