Clyde & Co Strengthens APAC Aviation Practice by Welcoming Partner Terence Liew in Singapore

Global law firm Clyde & Co has hired Terence Liew as a partner in Singapore. Liew is a dispute resolution and aviation lawyer, specialising in aviation insurance, regulatory, commercial, and uninsured aviation work in Asia.

Liew is an experienced aviation and aerospace lawyer with a diverse portfolio of clients across the region. He advises on both contentious and non-contentious matters, including regulatory and commercial work. He joins Clyde & Co from HFW.

Liew is expected to be instrumental in expanding Clyde & Co's aviation capabilities during a period of increased client demand and significant market changes and growth following the pandemic.

“The aviation and aerospace market will continue to grow globally, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Terence is a key addition to our team, who will further boost our regional aviation capabilities and our globally integrated offering,” Kevin Sutherland, Partner and chair of the Global Aviation Practice Group, San Francisco, said.

Liew becomes a valuable member of Clyde & Co's network of aviation lawyers, functioning within a unified global practice group, and he is now a part of the firm's Global Aviation Executive Group. He is highly recommended by prominent legal directories, including Chambers and Partners, The Legal 500, Euromoney Experts Guide, Doyles Guide, and Singapore Business Review. He holds qualifications in England & Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia, and possesses fluency in multiple languages, including English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Bahasa Malay, and Bahasa Indonesia. Furthermore, Liew is also a Notary Public and Commissioner for Oaths.

This significant hire ensures that Clyde & Co's regional aviation practice remains dedicated to offering a comprehensive range of services to the industry, including both onshore and offshore to clients. This is made possible by leveraging Liew's extensive qualifications in conjunction with the firm's strategic partnerships, Clasis and Westlink, in Singapore and China, respectively.

“I am delighted to be joining such a large, dedicated global team at a time when both the aviation industry as well as the sector’s legal advisors have seen drastic change. There are tremendous opportunities at this juncture to assist and support clients through this period of growth,” Terence Liew stated.
