He joined Angeline Suparto in November 2014, and his areas of practice there included corporate advisory and legal due diligence for IPOs and M&As, as well as SGX listing compliance and investment advisory in Singapore and Indonesia.

“Jimmy will boost the firm’s profile in the area of corporate and commercial practice; in particular, in regional mergers & acquisitions with a strong focus on Indonesia,” said Lisa Theng, CNP’s managing partner, in a statement. “He will also bring to the firm his expertise and experience in the area of construction adjudication.”
