Per Lindberg and Hong Cheong Wong from MoFo Singapore have been recognized by Asian Legal Business (ALB) as rising stars for the second consecutive year. The list spotlights the next generation of lawyers in Singapore who are doing high-quality work and, in the process, are receiving endorsements from colleagues, superiors, and clients.

Per Lindberg, an energy and infrastructure partner in our Singapore office, is fast becoming one of the leading lawyers for energy and infrastructure in South and Southeast Asia, 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, he has developed a stellar market reputation for his cutting-edge work on energy transitions mandates, including carbon credit offset projects, carbon sequestration projects, renewable energy certification projects, hydrogen and hydrogen to power projects, renewable natural gas projects, and electric vehicle charging stations projects.

Clients commend Per as “a tremendous asset to anyone needing strong, practical, efficient and effective legal advice and assistance.” Another client says that Per is “super responsive, has great commercial judgement and takes time to look around corners for us.”

Hong Cheong Wong is of counsel in the finance group, based in Singapore, where his practice has a pan-Asia focus (particularly Southeast Asia and Greater China). He has extensive experience advising private equity sponsors, corporates, founders, financial advisers, credit funds, and banks on domestic and multijurisdictional finance matters and specializes in acquisition and leveraged finance, public to private takeovers, syndicated and bilateral lending, margin financing, and subscription line financing. Hong Cheong also currently sits on the Fund Finance Association’s Diversity in Fund Finance committee and is actively involved in promoting education, opportunity, action, and affinity in the fund finance industry in Asia.

Clients compliment Hong Cheong for being a “terrific attorney” who is “incredibly reliable,” and for “taking complex matters and distilling them into digestible parts [and] ensuring that advice and product that we receive is thoughtful, creative and tailored.”

This recognition further reinforces the extensive experience our lawyers have in advising on the most complex cross-border deals both regionally and globally.
