Corporate M&A head joins London-based law firm
International commercial law firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain (RPC) recently announced that Kenneth Leong, a lawyer specializing in mergers and acquisitions, has joined the firm as partner.
Leong was previously a director at Quahe Woo & Palmer LLC (QWP) and, prior to that, a partner at one of the "Big 4" in Singapore, WongPartnership LLP. As described by RPC in their statement, he has "extensive experience handling complex and high value corporate transactions across a wide range of sectors including renewable energy, data centres, logistics, manufacturing, petrochemicals, medical technology, healthcare, education, and food and drink."
"The aspirations I have for my practice and the people-centric ethos necessary for its success are well aligned with the growth ambitions and culture of RPC, so this feels like the perfect fit and opportunity for me," said Leong.
RPC specialises in commercial and financial disputes, regulatory retail and consumer, insurance, and technology and media. The partnership is in line with the London-based law firm's plans to expand its corporate practice.
"Increasing demand from clients across all offices to support them in deals across Southeast Asia, has driven our decision to create a corporate offering in Singapore,” said Antony Sassi of RPC. “It's to the credit of our reputation, and the standing of the team in Singapore, that we have landed such a prominent M&A specialist in the local market.”
“With a number of synergies between Kenneth's practice and our strategic areas of focus, we are confident that Kenneth's well-established practice will thrive on the RPC platform," said Sassi.
