Asia Business Law Journal reveals the best lawyers from the top law firms in Singapore. Wilda Fong reports
To be one of Singapore’s top lawyers, you need to be an “outstanding lawyer with cost effective solutions”, according to Xae Hoyy Loh, group legal counsel of Gold Coin Group, Singapore, when describing Pei Lin Low, a partner at Allen & Gledhill. “[Pei Lin] is always generous in providing her insight and expertise in all matters (even unbillable ones),” she says. “Her dedication to her work helps me sleep at night knowing that my matters are in good hands.”
David Doran, founding partner of DFDL Legal & Tax in Thailand, says you need to be “courteous, respectful, astute, highly ethical – and a really good lawyer”, after nominating Cavinder Bull, senior counsel of Drew & Napier. “[She] has excellent client management skills, says Janette Loh, general counsel at Canon Singapore, describing Lorraine Tay, the joint managing partner at Bird & Bird ATMD.
Comments such as these, submitted to Asia Business Law Journal by the clients of Singaporean lawyers, suggest that they not only look for lawyers with an extensive knowledge of the law, but also those who can provide cost-effective solutions, are highly ethical and super client-friendly.
In addition, most international clients seek out Singapore lawyers who have a range of expertise and an international mindset.
