As one of the world's leading law firms with significant depth and a range of resources across five continents, Clifford Chance understands the importance of continuously evolving to service clients efficiently and effectively. The Singapore office, which acts as a hub for South East Asia, holds a leading position in the legal services sector.
Clifford Chance was one of the first international law firms to receive a Qualifying Foreign Law Practice license from the Singapore Government in 2008. In 2012, it registered a Formal Law Alliance with Singapore firm Cavenagh Law LLP to provide a broad range of Singapore and international law services from one platform, with litigation and real estate expertise provided through Cavenagh Law LLP. In 2015, the firm established an Asia Pacific Academy in Singapore, which provides lawyers in the region with the latest legal and business skills training.
In line with the Professional Services Industry Transformation Map, Singapore continues to drive innovation and change in the legal services sector. In 2018 Clifford Chance established the Asia Pacific Innovation and Best Delivery Hub in Singapore, which aims to drive more innovative and robust client service delivery in a changing technological landscape. The first of its kind in Singapore's legal industry, the Hub reflects the firm's ongoing commitment to Singapore, enhancing its position as an international legal services centre.
Today, the Singapore office has a large and diverse group of lawyers who are well-equipped to advise clients on large global transactions. Clifford Chance is excited to further develop its strong practice, deliver the highest standards of client service, and make a positive contribution to the legal industry and broader Singaporean community.
