The new office will be headed by Stephen Adams who joined Bedell Cristin at the beginning of this year from British Virgin Islands based firm, Barker Adams.
Bedell Cristin (Singapore) LLP will offer clients BVI corporate legal services, including mainstream corporate finance work, joint ventures, listings, banking, capital markets, IPOs and sale and purchase transactions.
Bedell managing partner Richard Gerwat said: “The opening of the office in Singapore is a logical move designed to augment our global reach and range of high quality legal services to our international client base, particularly those in the Asian region.
“There is a significant global demand for BVI legal services from our clients and it is important we not only respond to that need, but also that we provide the level of experience and client service that our clients have come to expect, and deliver it where they need it, hence the key appointment of Stephen to head the new Singapore office.”
