The verdict in three sentences
A website for a business law firm in Singapore that wants to win foreign investors and regional groups costs 20,000 to 50,000 SGD on the 2026 local market, for an 8 to 14 week project. Its strength lies in one page per practice area (corporate, tax, energy and resources, arbitration) and in monthly legal insights that demonstrate expertise without breaching the profession's publicity rules. A site that solicits, compares or promises outcomes exposes partners to regulatory complaints, whatever its price.
What a foreign investor and a regional group are looking for
A general counsel at an Australian mining group or a Paris-based fund preparing a deal in Southeast Asia searches "Singapore corporate law firm" or "SIAC arbitration lawyer". They want to see within a minute the practice areas, working languages, team and proof of expertise: articles on the Companies Act, notes on the annual Budget, commentary on SIAC awards. A regional group wants a responsive counterpart for disputes, employment law and tax structuring.

Freelancer and agency budgets in Singapore are market estimates, not Kolonell prices.
One page per practice, and content that respects the rules
Each practice area deserves its own page: scope, matter types, applicable legislation, lead partner and related insights. This structure answers investors' precise searches and gives search engines one clear topic per page.
| Practice page | Target searches | Recommended content | Update frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate and M&A | "Singapore M&A lawyer" | Incorporation, shareholder agreements, mergers | Quarterly |
| Tax | "Singapore tax lawyer" | Budget measures, tax treaties | Annually, after each Budget |
| Energy and resources | "energy law firm Singapore" | Commodities, project finance, regional rules | Twice a year |
| Arbitration and disputes | "SIAC arbitration lawyer" | SIAC rules, award enforcement | Twice a year |
| Employment | "employment lawyer Singapore" | Employment Act, terminations, expatriates | Annually |
| Banking and finance | "banking lawyer Singapore" | Security, structured finance | Annually |
On professional conduct, the practical rule is simple: inform, do not solicit. The Legal Profession (Publicity) Rules 2015 require publicity to be accurate and not misleading, and prohibit comparisons with other lawyers and claims about success rates. The site presents practice areas, insights and lawyers' backgrounds, and avoids outcome promises and client names without written consent. Have the compliance partner review every page. On data, the contact form must comply with the PDPA 2012: stated purpose, retention period, consent.
Monthly insights are written by the lawyers or by a legal writer reviewed by a partner, typically 400 to 900 SGD per article on the local market. For a firm in francophone Africa considering the same approach, Kolonell offers monthly SEO at 100,000, 200,000 or 350,000 FCFA per month, and maintenance from 35,000 to 120,000 FCFA per month.
Mini case study
Daniel, founding partner of a 7-lawyer corporate boutique in Singapore (an illustrative scenario), invests 32,000 SGD in a new site in year one, plus 12,000 SGD of local SEO over 12 months and 3,600 SGD of maintenance, a total of 47,600 SGD. He adds 12 insights at 600 SGD each, or 7,200 SGD, for a total of 54,800 SGD. A single mandate advising a foreign investor, with fees of 120,000 SGD, covers this investment more than twice. Two regional group mandates at 35,000 SGD each also cover it.

FAQ
How much does a business law firm website cost in Singapore?
Local agencies typically quote 20,000 to 50,000 SGD as a 2026 order of magnitude, and specialist legal marketing agencies up to 120,000 SGD. Kolonell's Growth package costs 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 FCFA (1,830 to 3,050 EUR) with remote delivery.
Do we need more than one language?
English is enough for most international clients. A Chinese version is worth considering if you target mainland or Taiwanese investors, and it typically adds 20 to 30% to the content budget.
Can a lawyer advertise on their website?
Yes, within the Publicity Rules: accurate information on practice areas, insights and team, with no comparisons or success-rate claims. A compliance review usually takes 2 to 4 hours per batch of pages.
How long does it take to go live?
A local agency project takes 8 to 14 weeks. Kolonell delivers in 5 to 15 business days once content is approved, and writing 6 practice pages often takes the firm 3 to 6 weeks.
How often should we publish legal insights?
One article a month is a good rhythm, aligned with Budget announcements, new legislation and arbitration decisions. Twelve articles a year are enough to rank on precise searches within 6 to 12 months.
