Purush has been with Reed Smith for five years and is dual-qualified in Singapore and the UK. He has built a strong corporate M&A practice, advising clients across Asia on complex cross-border transactions and inbound and outbound foreign direct investment. Purush’s deep regional experience and established client relationships position him well to further grow the firm’s profile in Singapore and strengthen its capabilities across the region.
Prajakt Samant, Asia managing partner, said: “Manoj has been an integral part of our Asia practice over the past five years, building a highly regarded cross-border corporate and M&A practice and earning the trust of clients across the region. His strong client relationships, regional experience, and collaborative approach will be invaluable as we continue to grow our presence in Singapore and enhance our capabilities across the region.”
Purush said: “I am excited to take on this role and to lead the Singapore office at a time of continued opportunity for the firm in Asia. Reed Smith has a strong platform in the region and a clear commitment to supporting clients on their most important matters. I look forward to working closely with our talented team in Singapore and across Asia to further grow our profile, strengthen our offering, and build on the firm’s global platform.”
