Asian Legal Business recognizes Per Lindberg and Hong Cheong Wong as Rising Stars in Singapore for 2022

Singapore Finance and Projects lawyers Per Lindberg and Hong Cheong Wong have been recognized by Asian Legal Business (ALB) in the inaugural ALB Rising Stars Singapore 2022 list. The list showcases the next generation of lawyers in Singapore who are doing high-quality work and, in the process, are earning significant accolades from colleagues, superiors, and clients.

Per Lindberg is an of counsel in the firm’s energy and infrastructure practice, advising developers, investors, and lenders on all aspects of energy and infrastructure deals, including project development, financing and acquisitions, and divestments. A true industry specialist, Per has worked on many first‑of‑a-kind, market-leading energy and infrastructure projects across the globe, but predominantly in Asia. Per is also at the forefront of new industry practices, advising on renewables, renewable energy certificates, and hydrogen projects. 

Clients commend Per as a “tremendously passionate, supportive, and brilliant projects and financing lawyer…His memory for prior negotiations and discussions and deals is shocking as he can quickly recall precedents or avenues we’ve pursued or considered pursuing previously…”. Another client says, “Per provides commercially sensible and effective legal advice, a skill (believe it or not) only possessed by few in the industry.”

Hong Cheong Wong is an of counsel in the firm’s finance and projects group, based in Singapore, where his practice has a pan-Asia focus (particularly Southeast Asia and Greater China). He regularly advises private equity sponsors, corporations, financial advisers, and private credit providers on complex cross‑border financing transactions, specializing in acquisition and leveraged finance and fund level financings. Hong Cheong is currently serving as a member of the Fund Finance Association’s Diversity in Fund Finance (Asia) initiative, which promotes education, opportunity, action, and affinity in the fund finance industry in Asia.

Clients commend Hong Cheong as “a terrific attorney” and “incredibly reliable… particularly when pressures are intense,” whose advice is “thoughtful, creative and tailored.” Hong Cheong is also noted for being “effectively bilingual” on transactions with English and Mandarin-speaking counterparties.

This is a further commendation for our Singapore finance and projects team and recognition for the strength of our lawyers in advising on cutting-edge, complex, multi-jurisdictional deals regionally and globally.
