WMI and Law Society launch certification to train 6,500 lawyers

WMI said the programmes will begin in 2026.

The Wealth Management Institute (WMI) and the Law Society of Singapore have launched a multi-year certification initiative aimed at equipping 6,500 practising lawyers with family-office advisory skills.

WMI said the programmes will begin in 2026.

The curriculum will offer Foundation and Advanced tracks covering family office governance, wealth and succession planning, operations and management, AML/compliance, and ESG and international tax.

According to WMI, the certification will draw on its faculty network and be overseen by an Expert Panel with Law Society representation.

It will be IBF-accredited and eligible for IBF-STS and SkillsFuture funding. WMI added that the programme aligns with lawyers’ CPE requirements, including three Mandatory Ethics Component (MEC) points annually.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
