Reed Smith has entered into a formal law alliance (FLA) in Singapore with local practice Resource Law.

The eight-lawyer Resource Law team is led by Mohan Subbaraman, who moved to Reed Smith last year from Incisive Law, Ince & Co’s alliance firm in Singapore. Also in the team is Kohe Hasan, who was hired by Reed Smith as a partner in September from Oon & Bazul.
