Dechert has officially been granted a license to practice law in Singapore, eight months after the firm applied for permission to practice in the country.

Dean E. Collins, a former O’Melveny & Myers partner who joined Dechert more than a month ago, will move to the Singapore office to head up its operations, firm Chief Executive Officer Daniel O’Donnell said. While Collins had been licensed to practice in Singapore for years with his old firm, he couldn’t practice in the country under the Dechert banner until the firm’s license was granted. While he and the firm waited, Collins worked out of Dechert’s London and Hong Kong offices.
