The only Asia-based lawyers to feature in Norton Rose's latest round of partner promotions are both in Singapore - KC Lye (dispute resolution) and Daniel Yong (corporate/M&A).
As a Qualifying Foreign Law Practice (QFLP) license holder, the firm is able to practice Singapore law in certain areas through Singapore-qualified lawyers it employs. The promotions of Lye and Yong bring the number of partners in the firm's Singapore office to 14.
The Singapore office has also been the beneficiary of a number of transfers of Australian lawyers following the merger of Norton Rose and Deacons Australia mid last year.
