International law firm Ince & Co is claiming to have made Singapore legal history by forming an alliance with a recently established Singapore law practice - a move that changes the way foreign legal firms can practice law in the island state.

Incisive Law LLC, Ince’s new venture has five Singaporean maritime lawyers who will practice both English and Singaporean law from the firms existing office.
