Our Methodology
How a thornwickess engagement works
Service 01
Strata Title & MCST Advisory
Counsel for management corporations, subsidiary proprietors, and strata-titled property developers on matters arising under the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act. Whether your matter involves a by-law dispute, an upcoming AGM, levy collection issues, or questions around common property management, thornwickess provides structured, written advice suited to the complexity of the situation.
Typical engagements span three to eight weeks. This service is particularly suited to condo management councils and property management firms dealing with recurring governance questions.
Service 02
Criminal Defence Consultation
An initial consultation and advisory for individuals facing criminal charges in Singapore. This service is designed to give you clarity and a sense of direction during a period that is often confusing and stressful. We review the charge sheet and supporting documents, identify potential defences, discuss bail considerations, and outline what the process ahead is likely to involve.
Initial consultations are typically one to two sessions. Court representation, if needed, is quoted as a separate engagement and discussed after the consultation is complete.
Service 03
Adoption Proceedings Support
Patient, step-by-step assistance through Singapore's adoption process — from eligibility assessment through to post-adoption formalities. This service covers home study coordination, preparation of court applications, all associated filings, and ongoing communication support throughout the engagement.
Adoption timelines in Singapore typically range from three to nine months depending on the family's circumstances and the nature of the adoption. We provide a personalised process timeline document at the start of every engagement so you know what to expect and when.
