Real experiences from businesses and individuals who trusted Dodoso with their legal matters in Singapore

We needed to restructure our holding company and the process seemed overwhelming. The team at Dodoso handled everything from initial consultation to final registration with ACRA. They explained each step clearly, prepared all documentation accurately, and completed the restructuring in just under three weeks. Our CFO was particularly impressed with their attention to detail regarding tax implications. The fee structure was transparent from the start, which we appreciated. Would definitely work with them again for future corporate matters.

Good service overall. They helped me with employment pass application for my new hire from India. The process took about 5 weeks, which was a bit longer than initially mentioned, but I understand MOM processing times can vary. Communication was professional and they kept me updated throughout. Would have been helpful to receive more guidance on supporting documents earlier in the process, but everything worked out in the end.

Hired them for contract review before signing a commercial lease. The lawyer identified several problematic clauses that I hadn't noticed, particularly around maintenance responsibilities and early termination penalties. They negotiated amendments with the landlord's legal team. Price was reasonable at S$1,200 for the full review and negotiation. However, response time to my emails could be faster - sometimes took 2 days to get replies. The end result was solid though, saved me from potential issues down the road.

Excellent support during trademark registration! I run a small skincare brand and needed to protect our name and logo. The team conducted comprehensive searches across multiple classes, filed the application with IPOS, and handled all correspondence. They caught a potential conflict with an existing mark early on and suggested a slight modification that worked perfectly. The whole process took 4 months and cost S$850 including filing fees. Very satisfied with the outcome and their proactive approach.

Used their services to set up a private limited company for my tech startup. The incorporation was smooth and completed in 10 days. They handled BizFile+ submission, prepared our constitution, and registered our company secretary. The initial consultation was thorough and they answered all my questions about shareholder agreements and director responsibilities. Only minor issue was that the invoice came a few days late, but that didn't affect the actual service quality. Fair pricing at S$600 for the complete package.
