Singapore | Drew & Napier continues to attain regional recognition in the latest Chambers Global 2023 rankings

We are delighted to share that Drew & Napier continues to attain regional recognition in the latest Chambers Global 2023 rankings.

The firm is ranked as a leading firm for International & Cross-Border Capabilities (Singapore and South East Asian Firms) for the 5th consecutive year. Through our regional blue-chip network, Drew Network Asia (DNA), Chambers notes that the firm "provides seamless advice and coordination in handling cross-border matters with its affiliated law firms overseas”.

In addition, our prominence and dexterity in handling international arbitration in the Asia-Pacific region is recognised by Chambers in its global rankings. A client interviewed by Chambers said Drew’s lawyers are “helpful in understanding and considering our internal needs and constraints and being able to deal with and explain the complex issues in a way that is easy to understand”.

Our ability to take on high-profile dispute cases in India also stood out. The firm has "significant knowledge of the Indian market and the practicality of cross-border arbitration and litigation involving India”.

In Indonesia, Chambers noted our capability to offer substantial expertise in corporate and finance, especially in banking and finance, M&A, energy and natural resources, and real estate. We are considered as the “go-to firm” for major restructuring and insolvency matters, with an especially established reputation acting for Indonesian debtors.
