Traditional heavyweight KhattarWong has experienced trouble as managing partner Tan Chong Huat left in July 2011 to be a founding partner of new firm RHT Law. He took 53 lawyers with him, but the largest blow in the firm's practice is that seven equity partners followed Tan to the new firm.
The firm is trying to rebuild, hiring partner Lim Mei Ann from an in-house counsel role in August 2011. It has also added an insolvency and restructuring practice.
In October 2010, the firm advised Yamada Green Resources, a supplier of self-cultivated shiitake mushrooms, regarding its S$90 million IPO on the Main Board of SGX-ST.
The firm also represented the board of directors of Super Group regarding the allotment and issue of 20 million Taiwan depositary receipt shares in September 2010. They were listed on the SGX-ST and raised over S$23.6 million in capital.
