PwC expanded its legal capabilities in Asia establishing PwC Legal International in Singapore last year. The firm has now added two partners from rival firms.

Finance and restructuring partner Carl Dunton and technology partner Henry Goodwin have both joined PwC Legal International. The latest additions means PwC Legal International now has four partners in Singapore.

Prior to taking on the new role Dunton was a partner of Ashurst’s Singapore office and had also practiced at White & Case and Linklaters as an associate. His practice focuses on banking, finance and restructuring. 

Steady Growth

Goodwin was formerly the head of U.K. firm Taylor Vinters’ Singapore office. He is experienced in advising clients in the Technology, Media and Telecom sector on venture capital, M&A and commercial sourcing transactions. 

finews.asia reported in September 2016, that the accountancy giant recruited Ashurst corporate partner Keith McGuire and Norton Rose Fulbright real estate partner Natalie Breen in Singapore as its first step to launch its base in the city-state.
