This expansion is part of Global Counsel's sustained initiative to invest in key markets across the region.

Andrew Yeo, Asia Director and Head of the Singapore office, said, "I am excited to have Santi join our team. The Southeast Asia region continues to attract significant foreign investment and the team and I are very excited to be able to count on his extensive experience across technology and digital trade as we translate what these policy dynamics mean for global investors.”
