What the Team is Known For

The firm's Singapore office acts as a gateway for clients with operations in Asia and South-East Asia, and maintains close ties to teams based in China, Tokyo and Seoul. The team skilfully advises on both inbound and outbound investment involving ASEAN, and is instructed by a mix of local and international entities.

The team is a popular choice for international banks and sponsors, and adeptly advises on large-scale energy and infrastructure projects, often those that involve jurisdictions beyond the Asian continent. The law firm's capital markets experts bring considerable knowledge to matters relating to India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, while the M&A group advises a range of international and Asian corporates on sizeable cross-border deals.
