King & Wood Mallesons‘ Singapore banking and finance practice has a strong focus on project and infrastructure financings in Southeast Asia, often linked to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The team is also gaining recognition for its work in green, social and sustainable financings. Fund finance, real estate finance, share backed financings, and trade and commodity finance are further elements of the practice. Thanks to the presence of John Shum, who previously practised in Hong Kong, London and New York, the team has developed close links to international banks (including Chinese lenders) and borrowers.
