Singapore boutique Providence Law Asia has hired Daniel Tan, a former partner at Shook Lin & Bok, as director and head of its restructuring and insolvency practice.

Tan brings extensive experience in banking and financial disputes, with a particular focus on cross-border restructuring and insolvency. His prior career includes two stints each at Shook Lin and WongPartnership, and a year as group legal counsel at Standard Chartered Bank.

Known for his expertise in advising corporate debtors, institutional creditors, and turnaround professionals in special situations, Tan is expected to significantly strengthen Providence Law's capabilities in these key areas.

"Daniel's appointment marks a significant milestone for Providence Law Asia, and further reinforces our commitment to providing top-tier legal services in complex, high-stakes matters," the firm said in a statement.

Tan's practice also covers corporate disputes, fraud, asset recovery, and investigations. He has earned recognition in several prestigious legal directories and is considered one of Southeast Asia's leading practitioners in financial disputes and restructuring.

Founded in 2012 as a specialist counsel practice focusing on international disputes, Providence Law Asia has 20 lawyers, including six directors.
