What Our Clients Have Said
"We engaged Tembusu Law to review employment contracts we had been using for several years. The feedback was specific — a clause-by-clause assessment with clear recommendations. The redrafted provisions were in plain language and our HR team could implement them without further help."
Sandra Wong
HR Director, Technology Firm — March 2026
"I came after receiving a TADM summons following my resignation. Rachel explained clearly what TADM mediation involves and what outcomes were realistic. The matter settled on terms I found acceptable. I felt properly supported throughout a genuinely stressful period."
Marcus Raj
Finance Professional — February 2026
"We are a small firm that grew quickly and had no employee handbook at all. The scoping call made everything efficient. What we received covered leave, grievance procedures, anti-harassment — written in language our staff will actually read. Two weeks from brief to draft."
Tan Li Shan
Managing Director, Consulting — February 2026
"We brought Tembusu Law in when an employee raised a formal grievance over a retrenchment exercise. The advice helped us understand where our process had fallen short. The position statement for TADM was well-structured and the matter resolved at mediation without escalating."
Nadia Ang
Operations Manager, Retail — January 2026
"As a startup with no in-house legal resource, we needed contracts reviewed before our first significant hiring round. The commentary identified specific issues with our non-compete clause and IP assignment terms that would not have held up. Turnaround was faster than expected."
Jonathan Koh
Co-Founder, Tech Startup — March 2026
"Dismissed while on medical leave, uncertain whether I had a viable claim. Priya gave me a candid assessment — not what I hoped to hear, but what I needed to know. She prepared a solid position statement and we reached a settlement I was genuinely satisfied with."
Yusuf Bin Halim
Senior Engineer — January 2026
In Detail
Case Studies
Three engagements that illustrate how our services work in practice and what clients typically take away.
Legacy Contract Modernisation — Professional Services Firm
Challenge
A firm with 40 staff had used the same contract template since 2017. A departing employee challenged a non-compete clause, revealing the contract had not been updated to reflect Employment Act amendments made in 2019 and 2023. Several provisions were of uncertain enforceability.
Approach
Tembusu Law reviewed the template against current legislation and MOM guidelines, returned a marked-up version with clause-by-clause commentary, and produced a full redraft of key terms including confidentiality and IP assignment provisions.
Outcome
The new template was adopted across all new hiring within two weeks. Engagement completed in ten working days at fixed fee. Separate dispute settled on agreed terms. Duration: three weeks including two review cycles.
"Having a fixed fee and clear scope made it easy to simply proceed. The result was far more thorough than I anticipated." — HR Director
First Handbook for a Growing F&B Business
Challenge
An F&B group that had grown from one to five outlets in three years was managing all HR matters informally. A recent harassment complaint revealed the absence of any documented procedure. Leave requests were handled inconsistently across outlets.
Approach
Initial scoping session focused on the shift-based, part-time workforce composition. Handbook drafted with emphasis on flexible work provisions, anti-harassment framework, and PDPA obligations — in language accessible to a non-office workforce.
Outcome
Complete draft delivered in fourteen working days. Final document issued within three weeks of initial brief after one revision round. Distributed to all staff and became the basis for a revised onboarding process.
"The scoping call saved a lot of back and forth. They understood our situation quickly and the handbook reflects how our business actually operates." — Managing Director
Wrongful Dismissal Claim — Resolved at TADM Mediation
Challenge
An employee dismissed without proper notice believed the stated reason was pretextual and related to her maternity-related absence. She was uncertain whether to file a TADM claim and what her realistic prospects were.
Approach
Tembusu Law assessed the chronology, identified relevant statutory provisions, and gave a candid view of the merits. A detailed position statement was prepared. The advisory team attended the TADM mediation session and assisted in negotiating settlement terms.
Outcome
Matter settled at TADM. Employee received a compensatory payment and an agreed reference letter. The matter did not proceed to the Employment Claims Tribunals. Duration: five weeks total.
"I needed someone who would tell me the truth about my situation. The settlement was fair and I could move on." — Client
