Singapore’s law minister has cautioned Clifford Chance against inaccurately describing the scope of its local practice offering.

Last December, the British firm announced it had entered into a formal law alliance with Singapore litigation boutique Cavenagh Law, which was established two months earlier specifically for that purpose. Cavenagh’s three partners are all concurrently partners at Clifford Chance. The two firms also operate under the common brand Clifford Chance Asia.
