Singapore
John Rogers, managing partner of the Walkers Singapore office, said: “It’s great to see our Singapore team keep its place as a leading offshore law firm for the region. This coupled with our recent Band 1 ranking in Chambers Asia-Pacific means we are the only offshore firm ranked in top tier across both of these legal directories, an achievement we are incredibly proud of. We’d like to thank our clients across the region for taking the time to share their continued confidence in our work.”
“It’s also gratifying to have the most leading individuals ranked ahead of any other firm. It's a testament to our deep bench of expertise across several practice areas. The rankings are an excellent start to the year, where we’ll also celebrate our 15th anniversary in Singapore.”
Legal 500 lauded Walkers’ “deep bench of offshore specialists”. Our extensive experience in offshore finance, corporate and investment funds, and insolvency and dispute resolution matters were also highlighted. The latest guide also praised our prowess in BVI and Cayman Islands law.
The 2024 guide also saw Walkers with the most experts in the Leading Individuals category, with five listed for their achievements. Partner Richard Siddle was described by clients as “highly responsive, knowledgeable and [with a] keen transactional acumen”. Managing partner John Rogers and partners Laura Rogers, Shirleen Tan and James Twigg also made the esteemed list.
Clients described the Singapore Insolvency and Dispute Resolution team led by partners Adam Hinks and Gareth Murphy, “at the top of [its] game” and continuing, "to attract the very biggest and best in commercial litigation".
This year will see our Singapore office celebrate 15 successful years in the city-state, marked by a client celebration and our upcoming Walkers Fundamentals events in Singapore and Hong Kong.
