Combining strength from the US and Singapore as well as Hong Kong, Ropes & Gray LLP excels at handling ‘complex cross-jurisdiction matters’, primarily for private equity clients. The scope of this work is broad, including advice on large compliance programs to manage against risks associated with transactions handled throughout APAC, due diligence associated with M&A in the region, as well as handling enforcements/investigations in the aftermath of investment activity. Splitting his time between Hong Kong and Singapore, the ’fantastic’ Andrew Dale is  ‘always accessible, calm, and organised’, and a popular choice for clients in the region as a result of his expertise at handling high-stakes corruption, sanctions and AML matters, from both a risk management and litigation perspective. Geoffrey Atkins is also ’extremely capable’ in the area although he now spends most of his time out of Boston.
