Milbank Tweed, Hadley & McCloy has started off the new year by promoting Jacqueline Chan to partnership in Singapore.
Chan is the fifth partner in Milbank’s Singapore office and her practice focuses on M&As in addition to corporate and commercial financial transactions. She is experienced in structured debt financing, capital markets, restructurings, and leveraged finance.
Chan recently advised on the $1 billion acquisition of PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama, an Indonesian coal company contractor. She also successfully acted for the lender on a $200 million facility for an iron ore mining company in Mongolia’s first offshore syndicated loan. Other representations include counseling an Asian oil services and shipping company on the restructuring of its $180 million Norwegian senior secured bonds.
“This is a great addition to our team and a real growing of the depth of our practice,” said David Zemans, managing partner of the Singapore office. “It reflects Jacqueline’s tremendous contribution to the firm for many years, her significant client following, and excellent lawyering skills. We are really excited to have made a number of new partners in Singapore in the last several years, all homegrown talent, and it’s a real reflection of the firm’s commitment to Southeast Asia.” ALB
