Foo Kwok LLC is a law corporation established in 2009 with a clear promise: affordable, full legal services to the community, without compromise. From its office at Blk 134 Jurong Gateway Road in Jurong East, the firm serves the legal needs of the heartlands while also taking on high-end corporate work, from intellectual property to mergers and acquisitions and regional expansions.
Its areas of practice are broad for a neighbourhood firm — litigation, corporate and commercial law, real estate law, insurance law, matrimonial and mental capacity matters, wills and probate, insolvency, personal injury, and vehicle accident claims. The team of Advocates & Solicitors — Kwok-Chern Yew Tee, Chia Yong Yong and Kwok Chern Rae — includes Notaries Public, a Commissioner for Oaths and appointed Professional Deputies and Donees.
The firm also runs a busy notary and commissioning desk. Documents for use outside Singapore are notarised and issued a Notarial Certificate, then authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law with an Apostille; documents for use within Singapore go through the Commissioner for Oaths. Notarisation typically takes 15–20 minutes and commissioning 5–10, with fees fixed by law and payment accepted in cash, PayNow or bank transfer.
Whether you are a busy professional, a family in need or a multinational corporation, Foo Kwok offers full-service legal help on Jurong Gateway Road — regulated by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority of Singapore and registered as a law corporation since 2009.
Foo Kwok LLC opened in 2009 with a simple commitment: affordable, full legal services for the community, without compromise. More than fifteen years later the firm is still at Blk 134 Jurong Gateway Road in the Jurong East heartland, where families, small businesses and multinational companies alike find the same measured, unhurried attention.
What sets the firm apart is its range. Many neighbourhood practices focus narrowly; Foo Kwok deliberately spans both ends of the market. The same team that drafts wills and handles matrimonial matters for residents also advises on intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions and regional expansions for corporate clients. As the firm itself puts it, it caters to the legal services needs of the heartlands while at the same time serving high-end corporate needs.
Foo Kwok's areas of practice read like a checklist of everyday legal life: litigation, corporate and commercial law, real estate law, insurance law, matrimonial and mental capacity matters, wills and probate, insolvency, personal injury, and vehicle accident claims. For someone living or working in Jurong East, that means a road accident claim, a property matter and a family will can each be handled by lawyers around the corner rather than across town.
The team is compact and credentialed. Kwok-Chern Yew Tee, an honours graduate of the National University of Singapore, is an Advocate & Solicitor, Notary Public, Commissioner for Oaths and a Professional Deputy/Donee. Chia Yong Yong, also an NUS law honours graduate with a diploma in compliance, is an Advocate & Solicitor, Notary Public and Professional Deputy/Donee, listed with the BBM and PBM honours. Kwok Chern Rae, who read law at the University of Bristol, completes the team as an Advocate & Solicitor.
One of the firm's most requested services is notarisation. A Notary Public witnesses or certifies documents for use outside Singapore and issues a Notarial Certificate, verifying either the signer's identity or the authenticity of a copy of an original document. The appointment generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
The firm is refreshingly clear about what happens next. Notarised documents must be presented to the Singapore Academy of Law, which authenticates the Notary Public and issues an Apostille — a certificate stuck to the back of the Notarial Certificate. Where the destination country requires it, the document must then be legalised at that country's embassy, and Foo Kwok provides embassy submission services, charged separately.
Documents for use within Singapore take a different route: the firm's Commissioner for Oaths performs a similar witnessing and certifying role, usually within 5 to 10 minutes. Fees for both services are fixed by law rather than set by the firm, so costs are predictable and stated up front.
Alongside its dispute and corporate work, the firm puts real weight on wills, lasting powers of attorney and mental capacity matters. Two of its lawyers serve as Professional Deputies and Donees — roles that involve acting for people who have made LPAs or who need a court-appointed deputy. It is quiet, practical work that matters enormously to an ageing heartland community.
The office is at #04-307H, Blk 134 Jurong Gateway Road, Singapore 600134, open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm. Payment is by cash, PayNow or bank transfer — there are no NETS or credit card facilities, so plan ahead. Quick questions can go to the firm's WhatsApp Business line on +65 6564 6100, which doubles as its main phone number, or you can reach it through the contact form on its website.
Foo Kwok LLC is regulated by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority of Singapore and registered as a law corporation with limited liability (UEN 200918583G). Whether you are a busy professional, a family in need or a corporation with paperwork spanning borders, it is a full-service firm that has kept the neighbourhood at the centre of its practice since day one.
