GT Law Bolsters Financial Services Practice with Appointment of Yuh Huey Khoo
Singapore, 15th March — GT Law, the Singapore associate firm of global law powerhouse Eversheds Sutherland, has made a strategic move to expand its focus in the field of financial services. The firm has appointed Yuh Huey Khoo as a partner, marking a significant step in their growth strategy.
Yuh Huey Khoo, a seasoned legal professional, joins GT Law from Eng & Co. Prior to her tenure at Eng & Co, she spent 14 years at WongPartnership, where she left as a partner. Khoo started her career at Rajah & Tann [1].
As a partner at GT Law, Khoo will lead the financial services team, focusing on expanding the firm’s presence and capabilities within that sector in Singapore. Her appointment is part of GT Law's commitment to serving a wider range of clients in the Asia region, always maintaining a focus on excellence and innovation [2].
Khoo's expertise lies in advising on succession planning, estate structuring, and the establishment of trusts and private trust companies for high-net-worth individuals and families. She also provides counsel on complex cross-border employment issues, immigration matters, and regulatory compliance for multinational companies [3].
Singapore's financial services sector is attracting firms and wealth management operations, increasing demand for specialized legal expertise in regulatory compliance and private client services. Khoo's extensive experience in these areas will undoubtedly strengthen GT Law's offering in these sectors [4].
GT Law's managing partner is Sze-Hui Goh, and the other partners are Sharon Teo and Gerald Goh. With Khoo's addition, the firm now has four partners, all of whom bring a wealth of experience from their previous roles at Eversheds Sutherland [5].
Khoo's previous clients include CapitaLand, Changi Airport Group, City Developments, Keppel Corporation, Olam, SATS, and StarHub [6]. With her on board, GT Law is well-positioned to cater to the diverse needs of these and other prominent clients in the region.
