What's different about a Letter of Intent in Singapore
The same "subject to contract" respect applies to a Letter of Intent under Singapore law, giving real effect to a clearly drafted Binding vs Non-Binding clause. SIAC is the dominant regional arbitral institution, and the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) is available by express written agreement for international commercial disputes. There is no stamp duty on the letter itself, and electronic execution is well supported for signing under exclusivity deadlines.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Letter of Intent binding under Singapore law?
Only in the sections it names as binding. Singapore courts give real effect to clear "subject to contract" wording, so a precisely drafted Binding vs Non-Binding clause is likely to be read exactly as written.
What dispute resolution options exist for a Singapore acquisition LOI?
The courts of Singapore by default, SIAC arbitration as the dominant regional option, or the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC), available by express written agreement for international commercial disputes.
