Morrison Foerster (Singapore)’s rapid emergence in recent years is illustrated by its exposure to big-ticket and complex engagements in multiple areas, notably in acquisition and leveraged finance, private equity-driven financings, real estate finance, subscription line financings and margin loans. The Singapore banking and finance team has also continued to make an impression in sustainability-linked loans and ESG performance-linked financings. It retains close links to major banks and borrowers, including financial investors. Yemi Tépé (‘understands client demands and consistently delivers’) continues to win praise from the market, leading the team in multiple high-quality matters across Asia Pacific, particularly in Singapore, Malaysia, Greater China and Japan. Charlyn Lim is a well established associate. Hong Cheong Wong departed the firm at the beginning of 2025.
