Singapore law firm PDLegal has welcomed aboard disputes expert Nazim Khan as senior partner from UniLegal, its third disputes partner hire in just over a year.

In October last year, PDLegal hired insurance disputes expert Wei Hong Ling,  while international arbitration and China practice specialist Cathryn Neo joined the firm in February 2022 from Ashurst ADTLaw.

With more than 25 years of experience, Khan focuses on fraud and white-collar crime cases, international arbitration matters, and forensic investigations. In a notable case, he represented an ex-Goldman director in the 1MDB case in relation to CMS charges in Malaysia as they related to Singapore. Khan also advises clients on corporate matters, including shareholders’ agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and asset and business purchases and sales.

PDLegal has also named Gerard Quek as its deputy managing partner. He joined the firm in 2017, and was promoted to partnership in May 2020. Quek also heads the China and Thailand Desk of the firm, and is its recruitment partner.

PDLegal, which was established in 2017 by ex-Duane Morris & Selvam partner Peter Doraisamy, now has 10 partners.
