English contracts vs Singapore contracts
<p>Since Singapore law is based on English common law, would it be feasible to use a pre-exising English Services Agreement wording in Singapore? Could we then amend the wording so it's governed by Singapore law?</p>

<p><strong>Could we then amend the wording so it's governed by Singapore law?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, in fact you could amend the wording of any document to make it compliant with a relevant law because you have amended it to be so.</p>

<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Your reference to &quot;<em>a pre-existing [...] wording</em>&quot; makes it unclear whether you mean (1) adopting and/or adapting clauses of some unrelated contract(s) in order to create a new one, or (2) modifying a contract which currently binds the parties. Both approaches are lawful as long as the parties agree to do so, since what matters is that the contract reflects the parties' intent.</p>
<p>It is unclear why you think that specifically amending or modifying the clause about <em>choice of law</em> could be unlawful. There might be some details which are missing from your description, thereby preventing us from identifying what exactly you need to know.</p>
