Experiences Worth Sharing

"We engaged tessarls to handle Employment Pass applications for three new hires. The process was clearer than I expected — each step was explained in advance, and the team followed up consistently with MOM on our behalf. All three passes came through within the stated timeline."

Marcus Chen

Operations Director, Tanjong Pagar

February 2026 · Immigration Advisory

"I needed a vendor agreement reviewed before signing, and tessarls turned it around in under two weeks. The summary of flagged clauses was practical and written in plain language rather than legal jargon. I went into negotiations with a much clearer sense of what I was agreeing to."

Wei Ling Tan

Freelance Consultant, Buona Vista

January 2026 · Contract Review

"My company required several corporate documents notarised for a submission abroad. tessarls handled everything within three business days and also explained what additional legalisation steps would be needed at the receiving country's end. Straightforward and efficient."

"tessarls assisted with my EntrePass application after I had already been declined once. They identified the gaps in my earlier submission, helped me restructure the business proposal, and managed the appeal correspondence. My pass was approved on the second attempt."

Soren Petersen

Startup Founder, Queenstown

February 2026 · Immigration Advisory

"I came in needing an NDA drafted for a co-development arrangement. tessarls drafted a document that balanced both parties' concerns and flagged two areas where I had not considered the implications. I would have preferred slightly more proactive updates during the process, but the final document was exactly what I needed."

"Needed a statutory declaration notarised for a property matter. Quick appointment, clear instructions on what to bring, and certified copies were ready the following business day. No complications."

Case Studies

Situations We've Helped Resolve

Immigration Advisory

Multi-hire EP Processing for a Regional Tech Firm

The Situation

A technology company expanding its Singapore office needed Employment Passes for five specialist roles simultaneously. Internally, the HR team had limited familiarity with MOM eligibility requirements and was concerned about delays affecting project start dates.

How We Helped

tessarls conducted individual eligibility assessments for each candidate, prepared tailored document packages, and coordinated submissions in two phases to manage the workload. We tracked each application through MOM's portal and responded promptly to any queries raised.

Outcome

All five applications were approved within six weeks. Four came through in the first three weeks; one required a supplementary document, which was resolved within days. The client's project timeline was not disrupted.

"The coordination was well-managed. We didn't have to chase for updates." — HR Director

Contract Review

SLA Review for a Facilities Management Provider

The Situation

A facilities management company was about to renew a multi-year service-level agreement with a major client. The renewal draft introduced revised penalty clauses and liability caps that differed significantly from the prior version, and the company wanted to understand the exposure before signing.

How We Helped

tessarls reviewed the full draft clause by clause, compared it against the prior agreement, and produced a structured summary highlighting the key changes, the risk profile of each, and suggested negotiation points. We also redrafted three clauses to propose more balanced language.

Outcome

The client entered renewal negotiations with a clear list of amendments to raise. Two of the three suggested redrafts were accepted. The final agreement included a revised liability cap and a clarified performance measurement methodology.

"We finally understood what we were signing." — Managing Director

Notarisation Services

Power of Attorney Preparation for Overseas Property Matter

The Situation

A Singapore resident needed a power of attorney notarised and apostilled for a property transaction in Malaysia. Previous attempts through other channels had stalled due to formatting issues and uncertainty about what the receiving authority would accept.

How We Helped

tessarls reviewed the document against the requirements of the receiving jurisdiction, corrected the formatting, supervised execution, and provided notarial certification. We also guided the client on the subsequent legalisation steps needed beyond Singapore.

Outcome

The notarised document was accepted without further queries on the first submission to the receiving authority. The property transaction proceeded on schedule. Total processing time from engagement to certified copies was four business days.

"They knew exactly what format was needed. No back-and-forth." — Private Client
