Chambers Review
A longstanding presence in Singapore, Sidley Austin focuses its cross-border capabilities on core transactional areas. The law firm's Singapore base forms a vital component of its presence in Asia-Pacific, sitting alongside offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Sydney. The team advises both Western entities and Asian companies on a range of inbound and outbound transactions.
Sidley Austin's corporate team brings notable expertise to a range of cross-border transactions. Members are particularly active on deals emanating from the energy sphere, and the team's capital markets specialists advise on a broad range of securities matters, particularly those involving India and Indonesia. The Singapore team also stands out for the strength of its investment funds practice, and often works in collaboration with other Sidley Austin offices to provide cross-border expertise to financial institutions, private equity companies and hedge funds.
