Channel Islands’ law firm, Carey Olsen, has opened its Singapore office following the granting of its licence by the Attorney-General's Chambers.
The addition of this South East Asian office allows the firm to provide advice on British Virgin Islands (BVI), Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey law from a network of international offices, covering all time zones and key financial markets.
The new office is led by Managing Partner Linda Lee who has been a high-level corporate practitioner in Singapore and Hong Kong for many years. Linda was formerly a partner in Allen & Overy's Singapore and Hong Kong corporate practices having joined the firm in 2000. She is joined by Senior Associates Elizabeth Killeen and Alan Hughes from Carey Olsen's BVI corporate team.
Carey Olsen's Singapore office will have an initial focus on corporate and commercial transactions including capital markets, mergers & acquisitions, banking & finance, and investment funds.
