Dentons Rodyk & Davidson LLP, part of the world’s largest law firm, Dentons, is pleased to announce that Debby Lim has joined the Firm as a partner as part of its Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy practice group.

Debby’s multidisciplinary experience includes advising an array of stakeholders in both out-of-court restructurings and formal insolvencies, including public-listed companies, private equity companies, white knight investors, bank and non-bank creditors, trustees, and insolvency practitioners. She is particularly experienced in the technology, media and telecommunications, infrastructure, and maritime sectors. Her practice also includes commercial and insolvency-related litigation.

Commenting on Debby’s arrival, Gerald Singham, Global Vice-Chair and ASEAN CEO of Dentons, and CEO of Dentons Rodyk, said: “Debby’s arrival supports our active growth agenda and complements our ambitious plan for our market leading practice. Her wealth of experience enhances our already robust platform from which to service our clients and Debby will work closely with our existing team to strategically drive the practice forward.”

Robert E. Richards, Chair of Dentons' Global Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy practice, said: "Debby brings broad-based restructuring and insolvency expertise to Dentons at an opportune time as we surge in client demand. As a member of INSOL International’s Group of Thirty-Six, we maintain a top-tier global restructuring practice, and the addition of Debby is a further step in our continuing strategy to grow our team and augment our offering to clients globally.”

Debby was named as one of “40 of the world’s leading restructuring specialists, aged 40 and under” by the Global Restructuring Review in 2016. She has been lauded as a leading lawyer in many publications including Chambers Asia-Pacific, The Legal 500 and Who’s Who Legal for her technical ability and commercial nous.
