PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sidley Austin LLP has announced that Gregory Salath\u00e9 joined the firm as a partner earlier this week. He is a member of the firm\u2019s M&A practice and will reside in its Singapore office after a transition period in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Mr. Salath\u00e9 focuses on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, with particular strength in representing private equity and hedge funds in their downstream investments. He has represented global investment funds and multinational corporations in connection with their investments across Asia, as well as Asian companies investing in the U.S. and Europe. Recently, he has been involved in several significant transactions on behalf of large private equity funds. Mr. Salath\u00e9 has been resident in Japan for over ten years and will continue to be actively involved with Japan-related matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreg has extensive experience representing clients in Asia-related cross-border M&A transactions and understands exceptionally well the myriad issues that private equity and hedge funds face when they make downstream investments in the region,\u201d said Thomas Albrecht, Managing Partner, Asia Pacific. \u201cThat experience makes him a valuable addition to our practice. His appointment, together with that of investment funds partner Han Ming Ho, who will also join our Singapore office, significantly enhances our ability to advise our funds clients in the region on their most important legal matters including formation, regulatory compliance, downstream acquisitions and other corporate transactions.\u201d
\n\u201cThere are significant M&A opportunities throughout the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Southeast Asia, and Singapore is a natural hub for the expansion of our M&A practice,\u201d said Matthew Sheridan, partner and co-head of Sidley\u2019s International Corporate Finance Practice in Asia. \u201cThe growth of our Singapore office reflects the increasing importance of Southeast Asia to our clients, and Greg will bring a strong record of successful M&A and investment deal making in a number of industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sidley\u2019s Singapore office, established in 1982, was the firm\u2019s first office in the Asia Pacific region. Sidley is one of only four firms to have been granted the QFLP license on February 19, 2013 by Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Law, bringing the total number of QFLP firms to ten. As part of its planned expansion following the issuance of the QFLP license, Sidley announced last month that Han Ming Ho will join its Singapore office.
\nSidley has had a presence in Asia Pacific for over 30 years and is one of few U.S. law firms to have maintained on-the-ground capabilities in this region for more than three decades. With approximately 160 legal professionals in Asia Pacific resident in six offices \u2014 Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo \u2014 and a global presence of nearly 1,750 lawyers in 18 offices worldwide, Sidley has built a reputation as a premier legal advisor for global businesses and financial institutions.<\/p>\n
