Yeoh Lian Chuan, Koh Chin Chin, Wong Wei Ling

Withers KhattarWong, the Singapore office of Withers, has hired three lawyers specialising in private wealth, including partners Yeoh Lian Chuan and Koh Chin Chin.

Yeoh and special counsel Wong Wei Ling join Withers KhattarWong from Deloitte Legal’s Singapore firm, Sabara Law, while Koh moves from EY.

Yeoh, who has over 20 years of legal experience, was managing director of Sabara Law. He focuses on private client, tax, financial regulation, corporate law, and compliance for clients.

Koh specialises in succession planning for family businesses, family governance and family office set-up, advising on tax, legal and governance matters.

The trio are Withers’ first senior hires in Singapore, since the firm added two banking and finance lawyers from Morgan Lewis Stamford, including partner Chen Guan Feng.
