DLA Piper has emerged as a credible force in the Singapore restructuring and insolvency segment. With the promotion of Jared Green to the partnership in May 2024, the firm has cemented its position in the market with an especially strong record in acting for liquidators and administrators in significant insolvencies, along with a presence in bank-led restructurings and the wider spectrum of distressed work. The Singapore team is particularly active in the energy, healthcare, pharmaceutical, telecoms and financial services sectors. It works closely with colleagues in Sydney and Hong Kong on wider Asia Pacific and global engagements, especially global co-chair of restructuring Naomi Moore in Sydney. In Singapore, Wei Hong Wong is another senior restructuring and insolvency specialist.
