Full-time Practice

A Practising Certificate (“PC”) for full-time practice issued by the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Singapore allows you to practise in a Singapore law practice from 1st April in any calendar year to 31 March in the next ensuing calendar year.

The following pages detail the processes and procedures to help you in your application for a PC for full-time practice.

They also include all necessary preparations required of you before submitting your Application for Approval to E-file to the Law Society, for example:

  • to prepare payment of your annual subscription and contribution to the Compensation Fund;

  • to ensure up-to-date payment of your annual Singapore Academy of Law membership subscription fees;

  • to prepare your Accountant’s Report if you were a proprietor, partner or director of a law practice or if you had held or received client moneys (whether or not you were a proprietor, partner or director of a law practice);

  • to obtain mandatory professional indemnity insurance cover.
