Withers KhattarWong LLP has announced the appointment of Gary Beh as a corporate partner in its Singapore office. This strategic hire is part of the firm’s ongoing efforts to expand its comprehensive service offerings in the region. Gary, who previously worked at Linklaters and Allen & Gledhill, brings extensive experience in regional fundraising, mergers, acquisitions, and private equity transactions across sectors such as technology, financial services, energy, and infrastructure.
Gary’s addition is timely, as Southeast Asia’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape is witnessing robust activity, with a notable increase in cross-border transactions and a focus on high-value sectors like technology and infrastructure. Daniel Yong, joint managing partner of the Singapore office, highlighted that Gary’s expertise in handling complex cross-border deals will bolster the firm’s capacity to support clients in capitalising on these opportunities.
Jeremy Wakeham, CEO of Withers’ Business division, expressed enthusiasm about Gary’s arrival, stating, “We’re delighted to welcome Gary to our corporate team and to have him build on the M&A, funds and regulatory strengths of our Singapore practice.” Gary’s experience aligns well with the firm’s focus on closely held companies, private wealth, and investment funds.
Gary himself is eager to leverage Withers’ global platform, noting, “This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic global platform with a leading presence in the private capital space.” He looks forward to collaborating with partners worldwide to establish a market-leading corporate practice.
Withers KhattarWong LLP is the Singapore member of the international law firm Withersworldwide, which has a significant presence across 17 offices globally.
