Commenting on his appointment, Mohan said: "I am deeply humbled by the appointment and the awesome responsibility that accompanies it. I have enjoyed my time at Resource Law immensely and will miss the fraternity of my colleagues, at both Resource Law and Reed Smith. It is my fervent wish that the Reed Smith Resource Law Alliance continues to flourish and grow from strength to strength."
Bernard Yee, managing director (designate), said: "Mohan was an integral part of the setting up of Resource Law and the Reed Smith Resource Law Formal Law Alliance in Singapore, and in helping to establish the Alliance’s footprint in Singapore and abroad. The firm is also indebted to Mohan for his unstinting dedication to the training and mentoring of the younger lawyers in the firm.
"Mohan was appointed a Senior Accredited Specialist in Maritime and Shipping Law in 2019. His appointment to the bench is further recognition of his integrity and professionalism. We wish Mohan a long and successful career on the bench of the Supreme Court. Looking forward, I would also like to welcome Collin Seah who will be joining us as a director of Resource Law in December 2019."
Reed Smith’s presence in Singapore has grown significantly since opening in 2012. In July 2016, the firm announced a substantial, further investment in Singapore when it launched its FLA with Resource Law LLC.
The Reed Smith Resource Law Alliance significantly expanded Reed Smith’s offering in Singapore and enhanced its ability through the FLA to service its clients’ legal requirements in handling multijurisdictional transactions, disputes and cross-border work involving Singapore law, which has continued to benefit clients across the world wishing to do business in Singapore.
Commenting on Mohan’s appointment, Denise Jong, Reed Smith Asia-Pacific managing partner, said: “This is a great opportunity for Mohan and we wish him a very happy career on the Supreme Court bench. Reed Smith’s presence in Asia will continue to grow and prosper and the leadership of Resource Law LLC is in good hands with Bernard. We look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional results for our clients in Singapore and across the Asian markets.”
