The corporate and M&A team as well as the debt finance practice at White & Case Pte. Ltd. have played a central role in some of the largest mandates in the region. Led by Matthew Osborne, the team’s recent experience has included advising Philippine corporates on their outbound investments. The group has also acted for various multinational companies and private equity firms on their investments in and cross-border activities across the region. In addition, its project development and finance team are regularly involved in a broad range of infrastructure and power projects. Senior associate Ostiane Goh-Livorness is another important contact who specialises in this area – she has a particular focus on the energy and resources sectors.
