KWM Bolsters Singapore and Hong Kong Offices

Asia’s largest international law firm King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) has expanded its Partnership, welcoming three individuals across two of its offices.

Gary Hamp and Indraneil Ghosh have been appointed in Singapore, and Ike Kutlaca has been appointed in Hong Kong SAR.

Gary has over 12 years’ experience working in Asia, where he was co-Global Practice Group Chair of the Latham & Watkins’ banking practice and prior to that the head of the Hogan Lovells banking group in Hong Kong.

He has in-depth expertise across all the major jurisdictions in the region in leveraged finance, acquisition finance, structured lending and secured syndicated financings in addition to acting for private credit funds and advising on the banking law aspects of complex restructurings.

Indraneil comes with over 15 years’ experience and, having joined KWM in Singapore as a Special Counsel in 2021, has been advising KWM clients in the funds management, private equity, and M&A space.

Having spent the founding years of his career in London, he has subsequently worked across major international fund centres in the Asia Pacific Region including Dubai, Singapore and Sydney.

“Gary’s broad banking & finance capability, coupled with Indraneil’s deep knowledge of fund formation and investments, are tremendous additions to KWM’s Singapore banking and funds offering, and will complement and strengthen our existing capability in these areas across our other offices in the region. We’re extremely pleased to welcome Gary and Indraneil to the KWM partnership; we know their appointments will be welcomed by clients,” commented KWM Australia Chief Executive Partner Renae Lattey.

Ike has over 12 years’ experience, having spent four years at the KWM Melbourne office before joining the Hong Kong office in 2016. He specialises in executing significant multi-jurisdictional transactions and advising boards, shareholders and senior management on key strategic and operational decisions. Ike focuses on M&A, corporate, education, real estate and fintech.

“Developing our home-grown talent remains a priority of the firm’s growth strategy, and we are delighted to have Ike join the KWM partnership. His promotion adds further strength to our Corporate M&A capabilities and client offerings in Hong Kong,” said KWM Hong Kong Co-Chief Executives Hao Zhou and Hayden Flinn.
