Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP

Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP

Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP is a law firm that originated in Singapore and now operates as part of the Rajah & Tann Asia network, one of the largest regional legal groups. The firm maintains offices in London, San Francisco, Singapore, Kingston upon Thames, and Frankfurt am Main, signaling a strategy to serve clients with interests spanning Asia, Europe, and North America. Its founding dates to a merger of Singaporean legal practices, though the exact year of the LLP's current structure is not publicly documented. The firm's practice areas cover corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, disputes and arbitration, banking and finance, and regulatory compliance. It advises on cross-border transactions, particularly those involving Southeast Asian markets, and the London office focuses on English law matters with an Asia link. Known clients include multinational corporations and financial institutions engaged in Asia-linked investments, though specific named portfolio companies are not disclosed. The firm employs several hundred lawyers across its network, with teams in London including partners qualified in Singapore, England, and other jurisdictions. Adjacent structures include Rajah & Tann Asia, the umbrella group that coordinates member firms in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The firm has not publicly disclosed a recent operational event in the last 24 months. What distinguishes Rajah & Tann from other Singaporean law firms is its decision to establish direct offices in the UK and US rather than relying solely on referral networks or correspondent relationships. This structure allows the firm to offer integrated cross-border service on English law and US law matters, a rare posture for a Southeast Asian-rooted practice. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership under Singapore law, with governance shared among senior partners across the network.
