Duane Morris & Selvam has entered into an agreement with Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) to collaborate on a wide array of mutually beneficial business opportunities.

Under the terms of the agreement, which will continue at least through 2015, Duane Morris & Selvam, its constituent Duane Morris, and the latter’s U.S.- based public affairs unit, Duane Morris Government Strategies, will seek to engage clients and contacts in the United States and Latin America to explore business and expansion opportunities in Singapore.

The collaboration is being spearheaded by Eduardo Ramos-Gómez, managing partner of Duane Morris’ Asian offices. “Singapore is a vibrant city that has developed rapidly into a hub for business and innovation,” said Ramos-Gómez in a statement. “It’s easy to see why. Our highly educated workforce, business-friendly climate, well-developed legal system and proximity to markets throughout Asia and the Middle East create a particularly attractive target for new investment. We hope to provide our clients with the means to succeed and indeed thrive in Singapore. Our agreement with the EDB is an ideal way to do just that.”

The EDB is the lead government agency for planning and executing strategies to enhance Singapore’s global economic position. The agency creates value-added solutions for domestic investors and companies to ensure and safeguard sustainable economic growth with vibrant business and favourable job opportunities.
