Murphy, who focuses on mergers and acquisitions, project and equipment financings, and debt restructurings, has been involved in transactions across Asia, including Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand during his more than 20 years as a lawyer.
"We welcome Mike Pollen and Kevin Murphy to our Singapore Office" said Sushma Jobanputra, partner-in-charge of Jones Day Singapore, in a statement. "Between them, they have more than 60 years of experience advising clients all over the world, and in Asia in particular. As Singapore's importance as a regional hub grows, we continue to add senior advisors to our team in keeping with our commitment to provide our clients with experienced counsel worldwide.”
The additions of Pollen and Murphy take the number of partners at the Singapore office to 10. ALB
