A trio of Singaporean firms have lined up to advise as breweries Heineken and Kindest Place vie to buy a stake in Tiger beer owner Asia Pacific Breweries (APB).

Duane Morris & Selvam, the local arm of US firm Duane Morris, is leading the advice for Heineken on its $5.1bn (£3.3bn) bid to buy the outstanding 58% stake in APB that it does not already own. The firm fielded a team led by local managing partner Arfat Selvam.
