André-Alexis Ureel
Legal Project Manager
About me
Based in Singapore, I help steer Legal Project Management (LPM) efforts across Asia, working closely with a skilled and dedicated team to raise the bar for how we deliver legal services in the region. I help lawyers deliver legal work more effectively for our Clients by managing matter lifecycles, coordinating cross-border teams, and encouraging smarter ways of working. This often includes using legal tech and GenAI where it makes sense.
From
Born and raised in Belgium, now happily based in Singapore (and slowly picking up some Singlish!).
Fun fact
When my family came to visit Singapore, I planned every day down to the hour, with detailed activity breakdowns, time estimates, and rainy-day backups. At some point, I realised I was planning holidays like they were client matters and figured it might be time to ease off the LPM mindset, just a little.
Previously
Before joining the firm, I worked at a boutique investment management firm with a focus on Europe and APAC. I supported digitalisation efforts and provided IP and legal services for online business growth. Although I went on to do an LL.M. and studied economic and business law, I was always more drawn to the intersection of law, tech, and operations.
Best part of the job
What I enjoy most is creating clarity and momentum in complex matters. Legal work can involve shifting timelines, multiple stakeholders, and a lot of uncertainty. I find it rewarding to bring structure, keep teams aligned, and make sure progress stays visible and steady. It's especially satisfying when clients feel informed, in control, and confident that things are moving in the right direction.
