Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown continued to expand its Singapore banking and finance team with the hire of structured trade and commodities finance specialist Janelene Chen from Norton Rose Fulbright in January 2024; she has a particular focus on Indonesia, which is a forte for the Singapore office along with Vietnam. The Singapore team is also making a further impression in fund finance and private credit, including subscription line financings, NAV financings, umbrella facilities, hybrids and GP facilities. It has additional expertise in structured lending, especially event-driven financings in Indonesia. Vietnam is another key market for the department, which advises an impressive list of international and regional commercial banks and development banks. Doos Choi is an experienced banking and finance practitioner, having previously practised in London and Hong Kong before relocating to Singapore; he continues to lead the Singapore office’s banking and finance efforts in multiple areas, especially fund finance and private credit.
