New website for an international arbitration and corporate law firm in Singapore: real cost vs local agencies (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

For an international arbitration and corporate law firm in Singapore, a credible website costs 15,000 to 40,000 SGD with a local agency (about 11,500 to 31,000 USD), and sometimes over 100,000 SGD with a high-end studio. Kolonell offers a fixed USD grid: Starter 2,900 USD, Growth 4,900 USD, Premium 8,900 USD, with a project manager reachable in your time zone, native copywriting and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks. The real question is the total cost over 3 years, because content, photography, translation and compliance review often weigh as much as the build.

What does an arbitration firm's website cost in Singapore?

General counsel, boards and states selecting a firm for a SIAC, ICC or ICSID arbitration do not read a website like a consumer. Within minutes they check the partners, the seats and institutions handled, working languages and sector experience (energy, construction, maritime, investment). A slow or dated site loses tenders without anyone saying so.

Local ranges come from typical agency quotes and public rate pages, converted to USD approximately. Kolonell prices are fixed in USD. Tier details are on our international offer.

What the site must prove, page by page

Lawyers' communications in Singapore are framed by professional publicity rules: no misleading claims, no disparaging comparisons, care with accolades. Personal data collected through the site falls under the PDPA, overseen by the PDPC, and a firm advising financial institutions already knows MAS expectations on service providers. This is not legal advice.

The costs quotes leave out, and the 3-year total

Kolonell tiers include a project manager, native English or French copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (4 to 6 for Premium) and 3 months of support. Not included: partner photography, translation by a legal translator, internal compliance review, and integrations (intranet, client extranet, conflict checking, CRM), all on quote.

These totals are indicative and rest on market assumptions. They show a gap, not a quote.

When a local agency is the better choice

To be candid: a Singapore agency makes sense if you want in-person brand workshops with every partner, a full design system for several offices across Asia, or heavy integration with your internal tools. It is also simpler if your management insists on a contact at Raffles Place. Our model suits firms that want a rigorous site, delivered fast, with a budget known in advance. Kolonell built the site of TR Signing Group, for instance, a signing services company in New Jersey: a professional services business where trust comes from clarity.

Questions to ask any provider: who writes and who approves partner biographies? Can the site be edited without a developer? What does maintenance cost after the included period? How is form data stored? Are redirects from the old site included?

Mini case study

Illustrative example: 'Marina Bay Arbitration Partners', 6 partners, arbitration and corporate practices, clients across Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The firm wants a site in English and Mandarin.

It chooses Premium, the multilingual tier, with English and Mandarin set in the quote: 8,900 USD. Add photography (2,300 USD, market assumption) and legal review of the Mandarin version (3,000 USD, market assumption), for 14,200 USD. A local agency had quoted 45,000 SGD, about 34,600 USD, before the same third-party costs. The gap of about 20,400 USD funds several years of insights and conference work.
