With firms like Clifford Chance undertaking a massive onslaught on Asia, and other firms such as Ince and Co firming up their relationship there with Ince Singapore, the Asian scene is where many firms are building a presence (Ref: http://www.thelawyer.com/1008460.article).In addition the Singaporean Government have invested heavily in creating Maxwell Chambers as their base for establishing Singapore as The International Centre for Arbitration. Singapore is seen by many in Asia as a comfortable stepping stone into Hong Kong, China, and Australasia, hence the growth in legal and other professional services.
In response to this we are opening up services in Singapore as part of our Asian Business Development strategy. Patricia and colleagues will be there in early - mid October 2011 to meet key contacts and clients. They are available for in-house modular, bite sized (90 minute) Development Programmes, as well as Coaching on a 1:1 basis. It is anticipated that over the coming months and years we will build connections and relationships with like minded Consultants and providers, whilst at the same time undertaking regular visits to be able to provide services that are being described by several Magic Circle firms as currently missing from the legal and professional market in Singapore.
