With extensive experience of working in the Southeast Asian region, Jonathan handles a broad range of corporate & regulatory matters and brings a particular expertise in the insurance sector. He advises high profile insurers, intermediaries, loss adjusters and other industry participants on matters such as business establishment, mergers and acquisitions, capital and solvency requirements, portfolio transfers, reinsurance and currency controls.
Jonathan also advises on regulatory issues such as licensing, notification and consent requirements, foreign business restrictions and anti-money laundering regulations. As a New York-qualified lawyer, he is also able to advise on U.S. sanctions.
In line with DWF's sector-focused approach, Jonathan will play a key part in continuing to grow the business's insurance sector expertise in Singapore and capitalising on the growing demand from clients to establish operations in the region.
