About

Provided by Dechert LLP

Doing business successfully in Asia Pacific requires commitment, local knowledge and adaptability. Faced with complex regulations and business practices, incoming investors appreciate counsel that combines robust representation with respect for local sensitivities. Asian corporations, in turn, often require a law firm with sophisticated commercial judgment and cross-border capabilities when establishing or expanding a footprint outside the region.


Financial services entities of all types rely on Dechert’s team in Singapore. With a reputation as a market leader in investment funds, we handle the full range of private equity, hedge and registered fund work. We also advise major institutional investors – particularly Asian sovereign wealth funds and fund-of-funds – on investments into financial products, both in Asia and elsewhere.

Asset managers regularly contact us for advice on:

  • Fund formation and offerings
  • Compliance and governance
  • Fund restructuring and consolidation
  • Product development and regulation
  • Investigative proceedings and enforcement actions
