UK law firm Trowers & Hamlins has applied to open an office in Singapore, which, if approved, will be the firm’s second in Southeast Asia. The firm is also eyeing a collaboration with local dispute resolution boutique Braddell Brothers.

Trowers set up its office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2012. That office now has four partners, including Geoff Allen, who joined the firm in September last year.

The Singapore office will be led by Abdulhaq Mohammed, a former international managing partner at Trowers. He specialises in sectors including real estate, hospitality and transportation, advising on projects across the Middle East and on investment by overseas clients into the UK.

When Trowers does open its Singapore office, it will be the latest international entrant after PRC firm Han Kun Law Offices set up shop in the city-state in June.
