Mayer Brown has a well-established finance group with a strong footprint across the region, offering impressive strength in Singapore and Vietnam, alongside a notable Hong-Kong based finance team. The team handles cross-border acquisition and leveraged finance mandates, acting predominantly on behalf of regional and international banks, and is particularly noted for its knowledge of structured trade and commodity finance work. The firm continues to broaden its regional footprint through the provision of transactional advice to banking organisations across South-East Asia. It remains a counsel of choice for an impressive roster of major PRC-based airlines, lessors and banks on aviation finance matters.
David Harrison in Vietnam, Soumitro Mukerji in Singapore, and Richard Stock in Hong Kong are key points of contact for the firm.
