Published by rhtlaw at May 27, 2015 RHTLaw Taylor Wessing LLP (“the Firm”), currently the eighth-largest law firm in Singapore, is pleased to celebrate its four-year anniversary tomorrow, 28 May 2015.
Founded in 2011, the Firm has rapidly grown to become the eighth-largest law firm in Singapore with 101 professionals.
Since inception, the Firm has built a formidable suite of practices, with expertise in criminal and civil litigation, banking and finance law, technology and intellectual property law, compliance and an emerging Islamic Finance practice, all with regional capabilities.
In addition to retaining a top position in Singapore, the Firm is actively expanding in key international markets, as part of its endeavour to become a local firm with international capabilities.
In 2012, the Firm joined the Taylor Wessing network, giving the Firm and its clients access to over 1,050 professionals in Europe, Middle East and North America.
Additionally, in 2014, to further strengthen the Firm’s presence in the ASEAN region, RHTLaw Taylor Wessing established the ASEAN+ Group, an association of leading law firms in eight jurisdictions across ASEAN. The Group now has over 750 professionals working in Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
To complement its strength in law, the RHT Group of Companies was formed to address clients’ needs for streamlined and integrated legal and professional services and now comprises 13 companies in total, with expertise in corporate advisory, regulatory and compliance, technology risk management, continuing sponsorship, media consultancy, business management services and other professional services.
To further strengthen the group’s professional service offerings, RHT Holdings plans to list on the Singapore Stock Exchange Catalist Board in Q1 2016 or earlier.
RHTLaw Taylor Wessing Managing Partner Mr. Tan Chong Huat said, “Today marks a momentous occasion for RHTLaw Taylor Wessing and the RHT Group of Companies. When we began this improbable journey four years ago, there was no guarantee of success. Now, as we celebrate our four-year anniversary in Singapore, we are eager to continue our journey forward to become the leading professional services group in Asia. With access to over 1,800 professionals in Asia and around the world, we have evolved into a home-grown law firm with global strength and access. For this reason, RHTLaw Taylor Wessing truly is the miracle firm. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated and valued employees, who have all played a vital role in the RHT story. We look forward to what the future holds for our Firm, our employees and our clients.”
