The 2019 edition of Chambers Asia-Pacific, one of the leading legal directories of top global firms, has seen Dentons Rodyk mark its first Band 1 ranking for Real Estate.

Clients singled out our Real Estate team's expertise and responsiveness, remarking that we are 'very strong in all departments', and emphasised our 'strong reputation in the local and foreign real estate market'. 

Our Projects & Energy team maintained its Band 1 ranking this year (having been ranked since 2018), and Senior Partner Edmund Leow, SC is ranked for the first time since joining Dentons Rodyk in 2017.

Chambers and Partners also released the newly launched Chambers FinTech 2019 guide from its Professional Advisers Series, in which Senior Partner Kenneth Oh is listed as a Band 1 lawyer.
