"I think that Rodyk & Davidson has reasonable rates and a solution-driven focus," a client says, "They don't just come up with legalese that just protects the firm, but instead keep business realities in mind when coming up with solutions."
Rodyk and Davidson have been quite active in the banking and M&A practices this year, and peers have taken note. Many have mentioned that the firm is now more active than it was in previous years.
A highlight was the firm's participation in a complex M&A deal involving Singaporean, Bruniean and Norwegian law. Partners Gerald Singham and Sarah Choong advised Norwegian Apply and its subsidiary Apply Leirvik in its $85.7 million acquisition of all shares of Aluminium Offshore, Aluminium Structures and Aluminium Technologies in the AO Group of Companies. The firm then acted for Apply and Apply Leirvik in its establishment of Apply Aluminium, which was a joint venture with the founders of the AO Group of companies.
In the banking area, peers especially respect partner Doreen Sim because of her frequent appearances across the table. In a landmark deal, Sim represented Asia Square Tower 2 regarding a $830 million facilities loan by a syndicate of banks. The loan was arranged by DBS, Malayan Banking Berhad, and Standard Chartered Bank, among others.
