London-listed law firm DWF has entered into an association with Singapore’s Eldan Law, aimed at generating work referrals between the firms for new and existing clients.

The association comes less than a year after DWF shut its three-year-old Singapore office last July following a strategic review of its global operations.

DWF also hopes to work with Eldan Law to promote its integrated legal management strategy that involves expanding its managed services arm Mindcrest and its specialist business division Connected Services.

The 15-partner Eldan Law was founded in January 2010, and is jointly led by Daniel Koh, Edwin Lee and Lawrence Tan. It focuses on commercial litigation, international arbitration, corporate real estate, intellectual property and corporate transactions.

DWF has also entered into a similar association with South Africa’s Thomson Wilks, which has offices in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.
