Dentons Rodyk has a strong background in contentious and non-contentious restructurings and insolvencies, with a particular focus on representing receivers and liquidators; the team also represents debtors and creditors on a regular basis. The Singapore team is connected to the firm’s global network, including offices in the region, helping it to attract a steady pipeline of cross-border matters. Construction, energy, technology and transportation are key sectors, among others. Ajinderpal Singh is a real authority on the insolvency and restructuring landscape in Singapore, while Debby Lim has become a driving force behind the firm’s success in this field, along with Kia Jeng Koh, who is noted for construction-related cases; all three co-head the restructuring, insolvency and bankruptcy practice.
