DLA Piper is often called upon for work at the intersection of local employment regulations and international human rights law, but the group’s expertise extends to private and public sector investments in a range of industries. Practice head Vincent Seah stands out for his precedent setting work in the renewable energy space, specifically advising on the development and financing of renewable energy projects, a core part of the wider group’s work. Senior associate Wei Hong Wo is key for the group’s restructuring mandates.
