Norton Rose Fulbright

Sue Ann Gan advises in restructurings arising out of the shipping sector, while managing director at Ascendant Legal LLC, Kei Jin Chew, is commended as ‘an experienced insolvency practitioner’. Banking and finance expert Yu-En Ong, who heads the Singapore office, is another key contact in the group.
