With a longstanding track record advising on Vietnam-related matters, we are recognised as a trusted Singapore law firm for clients investing in or engaging with Vietnam. Our sustained involvement in cross-border transactions and regulatory work relating to Vietnam has earned us a strong and respected reputation among regional and international clients.

Our ASEAN practice is focused on Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. Through our long history, we established close relationships with leading law firms in ASEAN with whom we collaborate to deliver sound local knowledge and expertise for our clients.

Transactions in ASEAN often have a Singaporean connection because of Singapore’s status as the leading financial centre in the region. The widespread adoption of Singapore governing law in transactions in the region has also led to Singaporean law firms frequently acting as lead coordinating counsel on regional cross-border matters. We are also purveyors of transaction risk management to MNC clients on transactions that cover multiple jurisdictions or governed by other laws.

As a leading Singapore law firm, our lawyers have benefitted from the openness of Singapore’s economy and gained expertise on a broad range of cross-border transactions within ASEAN including:

• Infrastructure, trade and acquisition financing
• Primary and secondary listings of ASEAN-based businesses
• Public and private M&A, involving ASEAN targets and bidders
• Joint ventures and foreign direct investments
• Procurement of natural resources
• Debt rescheduling and refinancing
• Insolvency and restructuring
• Dispute resolution, international arbitration and enforcement
• Executing corporate policies for compliance with anti-corruption laws
