Singapore’s WongPartnership has entered into an alliance with Malaysian law firm Foong & Partners, which will allow both firms to capitalise on the growing number of cross-border investment opportunities between Singapore and Malaysia.

Malaysia will be WongPartnership’s fifth country in its network which includes Singapore, China (Beijing and Shanghai), UAE (Abu Dhabi) and Qatar (Doha).

Foong & Partners was established in 2003 in Kuala Lumpur, and specialises in corporate, finance and capital markets matters.

“Our tie-up with Foong & Partners will enable us to leverage on their Malaysian law capability to serve our clients in the ASEAN region and allow their Malaysian clients access to our regional experience in China, the Middle East and the rest of ASEAN,” said Alvin Yeo, senior partner at WongPartnership, in a statement.
