Rodyk & Davidson beef up its corporate and finance practices

Four new partners, Carol Lim, Kenneth Oh, Evelyn Ang and Pun Ling Fung, join Rodyk & Davidson's corporate finance practices.

Mrs Helen Yeo, the managing partner of the firm, due to change her status from equity partner to consultant at the end of the year said, “Rodyk has been on a sustained growth path in Singapore, China, Indonesia and India, so these new appointments will add to our thriving corporate and finance practices.”

Of the four new hires, three will join the corporate finance practice headed by partner Valerie Ong. They are Kenneth Oh, Evelyn Ang and Pun Ling Fung. “The addition of the new partners is „strategically timely‟ given the current upswing in the market for M&A transactions, and they will add to our further growth momentum,” said Ms Ong.

Kenneth was named in the 2009/2010 edition of The Asia Pacific Legal 500 as an “equity capital markets specialist” recommended by clients.

Kenneth and Evelyn each has more than a decade-long expertise in corporate finance. Ling Fung has been in the industry for more than seven years. Evelyn and Ling Fung have strong track records in multi-million dollar M&A transaction projects.
The fourth new partner Carol Lim, has joined Rodyk‟s project finance practice, which concentrates on Indonesia; the practice is helmed by Tan Joo Thye. Carol has extensive international experience in energy, infrastructure and project finance projects.

Rodyk recently represented PT Delta Dunia Makmur in its leveraged buyout of Indonesia‟s second largest mining contractor, PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA). This deal was named “Asia 2010 M&A Deal of the Year” by International Financial Law Review.

Rodyk is Singapore‟s oldest law practice and celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2011.
