Lean’s hire follows Baker & McKenzie.Wong & Leow’s recruitment of capital markets expert Chen Yih Pong in October last year. Morgan Lewis Stamford is the recent merger between Singaporean law firm Stamford Law and US law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius, the first full integration of a law firm in the city-state with an international outfit.
