Chambers Review
Baker McKenzie is a leading global law firm with an established track record for handling a range of funds matters on an Asia-wide scale. The firm has exceptional cross-border capabilities, owing to its impressive global footprint, which is further bolstered in the Asia-Pacific region by its significant Australian funds group. It is particularly prominent for its work on private equity real estate funds, REITs and pension funds, with additional expertise handling secondary investments and regulatory compliance work. It acts as counsel to sovereign wealth funds operating in the region and advises investors and fund managers on regulatory matters, including the impact of financial regulation reforms.
Hong Kong-based Jason Ng, Singapore-based Kelvin Poa and Sydney-based Bill Fuggle are the key contacts.
