On the quieter stretch of Tras Street in Tanjong Pagar, LPA Law Singapore runs a boutique business law practice with an unusually international reach. Formally constituted as LPA Singapore Pte. Ltd., a Registered Foreign Law Practice, the firm advises multinational corporations of all sizes on corporate and commercial transactions — combining, in its own words, the distinction and sophistication of an international law firm with the detail-oriented approach of a boutique.
LPA Singapore is a member of the global network of LPA Law, which maintains a presence in six strategic Asian cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo. Across the region, the group fields some 50 multicultural and multilingual lawyers, making it the leading Francophone legal group in Asia and a natural first stop for clients from Western Continental Europe, the USA, Southeast Asia, Japan and China investing into the region.
That network matters in day-to-day work. For a client with operations in several markets, a single matter may touch several legal systems at once. LPA's lawyers have practised with highly regarded international law firms and have served as in-house counsel at private companies, and their experience spans both civil law and common law jurisdictions, with deep knowledge of the ASEAN region. The firm describes its role as that of a strategic advisor for overseas clients, with a continuous effort to lead projects until completion.
The practice list reads like the agenda of a board meeting. At its core is Corporate & Commercial work: advice on the foundation, organisation and administration of corporate structures across APAC, and on the legal solutions that support a market strategy — protection of technology transfer, general commercial matters, distribution of goods and provision of services. The team regularly advises shareholders and owners as well as the companies themselves, ranging from medium-sized firms to small family-owned businesses.
Around that core sit five further practices: M&A and Private Equity; Tax; Family & Wealth Planning; Global Mobility & Employment Restructuring; and IP/IT & Data Privacy. Together they allow the firm to follow a client's trajectory from market entry through financing, hiring, protecting ideas and, in time, planning succession or exit.
Expertise is also organised by sector. The firm publishes dedicated capability in Commodities & Energy, Financial Services, Private Clients, Renewable & Sustainability, Services & Consumer Goods, and Technology & AI — a signal of where its transactional and advisory work is concentrated.
The firm's stated clientele is broad in size and specific in profile: entrepreneurs, private investors, venture capital and private equity funds, and multinational companies — whether looking to expand their endeavours in Singapore or the region, or to invest from Asia into Europe. For each, LPA aims to deliver personalised advice shaped to protect their interests.
LPA Singapore's lawyers put great importance on working closely with clients and understanding their needs, and describe themselves as results-oriented counsels who consider legal and business issues as a whole. In practical terms, that means pragmatic and efficient solutions rather than advice that stops at the theoretical — a style sharpened by partners who have sat on both sides of the table, in private practice and in-house.
The Singapore office is led by partners Arnaud Bourrut-Lacouture and Bérengère Roig, supported by of counsels Astrid Cippe, Sabrine Cazorla Reverre and Lisbeth Lanvers-Shah, and associates Marie Lefevre-Cormier, Candy Xiong, Karim Boursali, Li Ke Cheng and Sicong Chen — a team whose names alone hint at the firm's Francophone roots and multicultural makeup.
The office sits at 40B Tras Street, Singapore 078979, in the Tanjong Pagar district. Opening hours are not published on the firm's website, so the straightforward route is to call +65 6224 1601 or write to [email protected] and arrange a conversation. For anyone weighing an investment into Southeast Asia — or out of it toward Europe — a first discussion with this Tras Street team is a clearly marked starting point.
