Following Departure from Mayer Brown PK Wong & Nair, Three Partners Launch Independent Law Practice

Mayer Brown PK Wong & Nair Partners Suresh Nair, Jennifer Chih and Bryan Tan have left the firm to establish Nair, Jen & Tan, a new independent law practice in Singapore with focus on Litigation, Restructuring & Insolvency, Corporate and Employment matters, areas in which the partners are widely recognised.

The breakaway marks a strategic move by the trio to create a specialist platform dedicated to contentious, advisory and crisis-driven mandates, particularly in the context of heightened restructuring activity, more nuanced employment and immigration issues, and complex commercial disputes, including arbitration in Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Collectively, the three partners bring decades of experience advising multinational corporations, financial institutions, insolvency practitioners, boards and senior executives. Their practices span high-value commercial disputes, cross-border restructuring and insolvency proceedings, employment litigation and compliance-related advisory work.

Suresh Nair has been widely recognised for his leadership in corporate and commercial litigation, insolvency and restructuring, and employment disputes. He has a distinguished record of representing clients in landmark cases, and is known for pragmatic, results-oriented advocacy.

Jennifer Chih has almost three decades of experience advising on complex corporate, immigration and employment matters, compliance frameworks and regulatory strategy. Her work spans M&A transactions, corporate governance, and immigration and labour-related compliance services.

Bryan Tan specialises in corporate and commercial litigation, arbitration, restructuring and insolvency, and employment-related disputes. His practice also encompasses disputes involving technology, digital assets and financial issues, reflecting the evolving needs of commercial clients.

“We are establishing an independent practice that allows us to deepen our work in core areas where clients increasingly require specialised, senior-level advice. This move enables us to offer a more agile and conflict-free platform, while continuing to deliver the depth and quality our clients expect,” the three partners said in a joint statement.

Nair, Jen & Tan is headquartered in Singapore and will operate from their office at SGX Centre 1.
