Cambridge law firm Taylor Vinters has set its expansionary sights on Singapore and the greater Asian market, by forming an alliance with Singapore firm, Keystone Law Corporation.

“We are collaborating in this venture with a leading Singaporean technology law firm– Keystone Law Corporation, which gives us regional credibility and most importantly an entrepreneurial partner that thinks like us,” said the firm’s CEO, Matt Meyer.

According to Keystone Law Corporation director Sean Say, synergies within the niche areas of practice that both firms specialise in, have made this partnership mutually beneficial. “One of the synergies that both firms have is in respect to the information technology and the IT sector.  Working out of Cambridge and London, Taylor Vinters have MNC clients who have presence in Asia and Singapore is ideally located for [Taylor Vinters] to service their clients here in Asia,” Keystone Law Corporation director Sean say told ALB.

“Months before this alliance was announced, a good working relationship was established with Taylor Vinters with work referrals being exchanged between the two firms. So far it has worked out quite well,” Say said.

The alliance follows Taylor Vinters’ recent London office launch on 1 June and also follows the firm’s target of obtaining a foreign law practice licence to launch its own office in Singapore within the next 12 months.   “Like most of our strategic decisions, growing the business in Singapore is client led. Our Cambridge, London and Singapore axis reflects the commercial opportunities that our clients are experiencing, particularly in sectors like technology,” Meyer said.

Through the Law Firm Network, Taylor Vinters has an existing Singapore partnership with local firm Engelin Teh Practice, which handles the firm’s litigation and arbitration issues in the country. “With the economy picking up again, we can expect to see more alliances from foreign and local law firms. Singapore is an ideal location for parties to use as a springboard into Asia,” Say said.ALB
