Wong & Partners has hired finance and projects partner Lim Siaw Wan from Christopher & Lee Ong, Rajah & Tann’s associate firm in Malaysia.

In her previous firm, Lim was part of the construction and projects team. In her new role, she will focus on transport infrastructure, construction and mega infrastructure projects.

"This is crucial timing as we continue to see an influx of investments from China, Korea and Japan into Southeast Asia, also spurred by the One Belt One Road initiative that China is championing," said Mark Lim, head of Wong & Partners’ finance and projects practice.
