Baker & McKenzie.Wong & Leow, the member firm of Baker & McKenzie International in Singapore, is pleased to announce that capital markets lawyer Lan Hing Liew has joined its Corporate & Securities practice as a partner. She joins the Firm from Rajah & Tann LLP, Singapore, where she was an equity partner.
“We are very pleased to welcome Lan Hing to the Firm,” said Clive Cook, Managing Principal of Baker & McKenzie.Wong & Leow. “Her appointment demonstrates our continuing commitment to the region and to further strengthening our Corporate & Securities practice in South East Asia.”
Ms. Liew has a decade of legal experience in capital markets transactions, M&A deals and listed companies’ corporate actions and regulatory compliance in Singapore, with a strong focus on listings and initial public offerings and secondary fund raising transactions including share placements, rights issues and bond issues and with significant exposure to China in recent years.
Head of the Corporate & Securities practice, Ai Ai Wong said, “We look forward to Lan Hing contributing significantly to the development of our capital markets and M&A capabilities, and welcome her wholeheartedly to the Firm.”
Ms. Liew said she was attracted to Baker & McKenzie because of “its strong reputation and network in the region, and the opportunities presented by its established Singapore office. I look forward to joining the Firm and play a part in the development of the Firm’s capital markets capabilities.”
This development follows the recent partner additions of Emmanuel Hadjidakis from Allen & Overy to the Firm, and Mark Lim from Albar & Partners to Baker & McKenzie’s member firm in Malaysia, Wong & Partners. Both lawyers joined the respective Finance and Projects practices of the two Firms.
The recent lateral hires further strengthen the Firms’ deep practice and sector expertise built through a long commitment to the Asia Pacific region.
