Penningtons Manches Cooper celebrates a 30 year legacy in Singapore
International law firm Penningtons Manches Cooper is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Singapore office.
Over the past three decades, the office has become an established part of the firm’s international network, supporting clients across Singapore, Asia Pacific and around the world.
Since opening its doors in 1996, the office has evolved alongside its clients, supporting their growth as Singapore strengthened its position as a leading international centre for maritime trade and commerce.
During that time, the team has advised businesses operating throughout the international shipping, trade and commodities sectors, reflecting the increasingly global nature of trade and investment across Asia and beyond.
While shipping and international trade remain at the core of the practice, the office has expanded its offering to meet the evolving needs of clients, most recently, welcoming private wealth partner, Rachel Yao to launch the firm’s first private wealth practice outside the UK.
This week, CEO Helen Drayton and other senior colleagues will join the Singapore team to celebrate the anniversary at a special event for clients, colleagues and long-standing friends of the firm from across the region. She says:
“Singapore continues to play a pivotal role in the region and this anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the clients, colleagues and friends of the firm who have been part of our journey over the past 30 years. It is also an exciting time for the office as we continue to invest in our presence in the region, including the recent launch of our private wealth practice. I am incredibly proud of the team and all they have achieved, and I look forward to joining them to mark this milestone.”
Partner Johan Wong, who leads the Singapore office, comments:
“This is a really important moment for the Singapore team. Over the past three decades, what has mattered most has been the strength of the relationships we have built with our clients and industry contacts. We are really grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey and helped to shape our success. We look forward to extending our support to businesses and individuals across the region for many years to come.”
