Eng and Co were founded in 2018 by name partner Rachel Eng, who also serves as managing director. The firm is notably a member of the PwC legal network, which extends to over 100 territories throughout the world with more than 3,500 lawyers providing a full spectrum of legal services.
The firm is recognised for its capital markets, corporate and M&A, and investment funds practices. It advises clients operating in various sectors including retail, banking and financial services, consumer goods and services, healthcare, food and beverage, oil and gas, real estate, logistics and technology.
Recent examples of the firm’s deal work include advising Boustead Singapore on a landmark take-private transaction. It is legally significant as it was the first publicly reported take-private deal executed following the pivotal change to Singapore's compulsory acquisition threshold, which took effect on 1 July 2023.
The firm also acted for Cuscaden Peak Investments in the landmark divestment of its purpose-built student accommodation portfolio to Mapletree Investments. The transaction's complexity necessitated a novel legal approach, leading the firm to deploy two specialised teams to manage distinct aspects of the negotiation and documentation.
