Offshore firm Mourant Ozannes is launching an office in Singapore with the hire of Maples and Calder partner Craig Luton. The firm’s Singapore outfit marks its second in Asia, after the launch of its Hong Kong presence more a decade ago.
Mourant has already obtained the relevant approvals required for setting up a foreign law practice in the city-state from the Singapore Legal Services Regulatory Authority, the firm told Law.com International. A soft office opening will take place in November, with an official launch to happen in January.
