Mourant Singapore team recognised in Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2025
15 January 2025
Mourant, a law firm-led professional services business, is celebrating the entry of its Singapore team into the Legal 500 Asia-Pacific ranking tables in its first year of operation.
The Mourant team is now ranked in 'Singapore - Offshore' in Legal 500 Asia-Pacific 2025. This latest ranking is in addition to the firm's presence in the 'Hong Kong – Offshore law firms' ranking table which was published at the end of last year.
The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific directory is an authoritative guide to Asia Pacific’s leading law firms. Now in its 20th year, the guide is relied upon by thousands of professionals in the legal marketplace to locate detailed qualitative reviews of firms across 18 key jurisdictions in the region.
In October 2023, Mourant confirmed the expansion of its international business with the launch of its new office in Singapore. The move has cemented the firm's growing global prominence, expanded its geographical reach and enabled it to capitalise on the rising significance of Singapore as a global finance centre. Leading the practice is Craig Luton, who was previously a partner in Maples and Calder's Funds and Investment Management team in Singapore.
In 2024, Mourant Governance Services Singapore was launched, complementing the firm's legal practice and bolstering its presence in the region by offering a comprehensive range of incorporation, company secretarial, board support and fiduciary services to Singapore, Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands entities.
Commenting on the recognition in Legal 500 Asia-Pacific, Paul Christopher, Mourant Asia Managing Partner, said:
"It is great to see our Singapore team ranked in the latest Legal 500 Asia-Pacific guide. The launch of our office in Singapore was an important milestone for Mourant, and the team has already proven to be a huge asset to our firm. Complementing our Hong Kong practice, we are now able to capitalise on the benefits of having a strong presence in Asia to best serve our clients."
Craig Luton added:
"I am delighted with the latest recognition from Legal 500 Asia-Pacific. This ranking reflects our commitment to providing clients with the highest levels of expertise and an outstanding quality of service. In a short time, we are proud to have established a robust local presence in Singapore that strengthens the Mourant global network and allows clients to take advantage of our specialist firm with its worldwide footprint. From this pivotal location, we seamlessly connect our clients to the financial ecosystems of Singapore, the Cayman Islands, and the British Virgin Islands – three of the world's most significant funds jurisdictions, each renowned for their unique strengths in the global financial industry."
