U.K. Magic Circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has officially announced it will return to Singapore with a new office slated to open in mid-October.

Freshfields is relocating three partners to Singapore from Hong Kong: global capital markets co-head Stephen Revell, international arbitration co-head Lucy Reed, and recent lateral partner Gavin MacLaren, an energy and resources specialist who joined from Australian firm Allens in April.
