DLA has boosted its Asian network with the acquisition of the foreign law practice of Singapore firm J Koh & Co, giving the UK firm a foothold in Thailand for the first time.

The two firms already have a strategic alliance through the DLA Group and share office space. However, a group of J Koh’s Singapore lawyers focusing on foreign law instructions together with the firm’s Bangkok office will now join DLA, with the local Singapore practice remaining an associated member of the DLA Group.
