Carey Olsen opens Singapore Office
We are delighted to announce the opening of our Singapore office, giving our clients in the region direct access to our offshore legal services in their own time zone.
We have a longstanding track record of providing offshore advice to international law firms and clients in Asia on an extensive range of matters and transactions. Establishing an office in Singapore is a logical step for the firm.
Group managing partner, Alex Ohlsson, said: "This growth represents a strategic move to build on the significant experience Carey Olsen has with clients in Asia and to strengthen the relationships we have already established.
"Our firm has a particularly good reputation for its expertise in complex cross-border matters and for acting alongside, as well as for, many of the largest international law firms. I expect the team in Singapore to grow significantly as we develop our network in Asia and we will be making further announcements of our plans in the near future.”
Notable recent work in Asia includes acting for West China Cement Limited, a Jersey incorporated, Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed public company on its issuance of a US$400m high yield bond and advising China-based Reignwood International Investment (Group) Company Limited on its £135 million acquisition of shares in WG Acquisitions Limited - owner of the prestigious Wentworth Golf Club in the UK.
