Chambers Review
Baker McKenzie's Singapore team offers clients an effective combination of local law expertise and the resources of its vast global network. The law firm's Singapore base acts as a strategic hub for cross-border work involving South-East Asia, linking closely to very highly rated teams based in Thailand and Indonesia. The team is able to offer a truly full service from Singapore, providing cross-border support across a broad spectrum of legal areas.
The law firm's M&A group is geared towards handling a range of international transactions. The team is particularly adept at advising Western clients investing in Asian markets, while also providing expertise to Asian entities with operations across the continent. The project finance team is also very active on cross-border mandates; international lenders and sponsors frequently select the team to advise on energy and infrastructure projects that encompass multiple South-East Asian jurisdictions, as well as India, Bangladesh, Australia and China. The team also offers clients in search of multi-jurisdictional support a strong sector focus, with dedicated specialists advising on matters relating to the insurance, real estate and technology spheres.
