Withers KhattarWong Expands Corporate Team with Gary Beh’s Addition as Partner

Withers KhattarWong, the Singapore alliance of international law firm Withers, has bolstered its corporate team with the addition of former Linklaters counsel Gary Beh as a partner.

Gary Beh, who began his career at Allen & Gledhill before spending seven years at Linklaters, brings extensive experience advising clients on regional fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, and regulatory compliance across key sectors such as technology, financial services, energy, and infrastructure.

“Private capital plays an increasingly important role in the investment world, including in Southeast Asia, and the Withers platform is well-positioned to capitalise on those opportunities with its deep bench strength and global footprint,” Beh said in a statement. Beh’s hire follows the departure of a four-lawyer corporate team, led by Chuo Ming Leong, to Han Kun Law Offices in Singapore last August. In July, the firm also expanded its real estate practice in Singapore with the addition of a two-lawyer team from Shook Lin & Bok, led by partner Chau Hwei Lee.

“Gary's addition comes at a pivotal time as Southeast Asia's M&A landscape continues to see strong deal activity, with increasing cross-border transactions and a shift towards high-value sectors like technology and infrastructure,” said Daniel Yong, joint managing partner of the firm’s Singapore office.
