With regional offices in Singapore, Myanmar and Vietnam, an associate firm in Malaysia (Rahmat Lim & Partners) and an alliance in Indonesia (with Soemadipradja & Taher), the Allen & Gledhill network has over 600 lawyers regularly working on cross-border transactions in the cities of South-east Asia and the world.
In the countries where we operate, our locally qualified leading lawyers have significant on-the-ground experience and have developed close working relationships with relevant local authorities over the years. This enables us to provide our clients with invaluable perspectives to navigate the challenging and evolving business, legal and political landscape in the different jurisdictions.
For other markets, we have long-standing and close working relationships with law firms who are leaders in their respective jurisdictions or specialisation areas. This provides our clients with the flexibility to harness the best lawyers with the requisite specialist knowledge and expertise.
We are also able to take on an active lead or transaction counsel role on cross-border matters involving assets in multiple jurisdictions. We help coordinate advice from foreign counsel so as to provide our clients with integrated, seamless and premium legal advice on their regional matters.
Chambers Review
Allen & Gledhill is recognised as one of the strongest independent practices in Singapore, offering clients cross-border expertise across an array of legal areas. The multidisciplinary team is held in high esteem by Singaporean and Asian clients seeking expertise within ASEAN. The law firm services the cross-border needs of its clientele primarily by establishing close contact with a network of local practices, while maintaining more formal alliances with firms in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Among local firms in Singapore, the team sits at the top of the market for its cross-border transactional capabilities. Its M&A group is particularly active on multi-jurisdictional deals, often advising on matters which extend beyond Asia. Clients seeking cross-border support in relation to financing, capital markets and investment funds matters are also well served by top-ranked teams.
