Maples Group‘s global brand and presence in multiple jurisdictions provides a more than solid platform for the Singapore office. The team works closely with colleagues in Hong Kong and across the globe (including BVI, Cayman Islands, Dubai, Dublin, Jersey, London and Luxembourg) on a range of matters in the corporate, finance, insolvency, funds and investments, and dispute resolution sectors. It has continued to advise on numerous headline and landmark transactions, including the first de-SPAC transaction in Singapore and several other de-SPAC deals. The Singapore team is also noted for its prominence in structured debt programmes and for its expertise in fund finance and private credit. Working with Hong Kong colleagues, the Singapore group provides further senior firepower in fund launches. Based in Asia since 2006, Michael Gagie is regional head for Asia and leads the finance team in the region, also leading the global BVI legal practice. Matt Roberts is Asia head of corporate, splitting his time between Hong Kong and Singapore. Nick Harrold is an experienced partner in funds and investment management, along with Iain Anderson and Ian Clark, the latter joining from Harneys in 2023. Dispute resolution specialist Cherrin Wong was promoted to counsel in 2024.
