Our Singapore office was established more than 30 years ago to serve South East Asia and today operates as a hub for Allens' extensive South East Asian network, covering Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

We operate in Singapore through Allens TSMP, a joint law venture between Allens and Singapore law firm TSMP Law Corporation (TSMP). Further information in relation to TSMP can be found at www.tsmplaw.com

The 50-lawyer joint law venture provides English and Singapore law advice, in addition to the international and regional capabilities of Allens. Our lawyers in Singapore work together with our locally qualified lawyers in the Asia Pacific to offer seamless legal services on international transactions and projects involving multiple jurisdictions in the region.

Our practice areas include:

  • Corporate & Commercial (includes mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, funds management and REITs);
  • Banking and Finance (includes project finance, debt capital markets, structured finance and asset finance);
  • Insurance & Reinsurance;
  • Oil & Gas (includes LNG);
  • Mining;
  • Infrastructure; and
  • International arbitration and dispute resolution.

Independent surveys such as Chambers Asia-Pacific 2012 and Asia Pacific Legal 500 2012 have recognised the achievements and experience of Allens and TSMP in the fields of banking and finance, capital markets, construction, corporate/M&A, dispute resolution, telecommunications, media and technology, international arbitration and projects and energy in Singapore and the region.
