 Ashurst has appointed Jean Woo as managing partner of its Singapore office. She is a partner in the global finance division.

Woo joined the law firm as an associate in the Singapore office and rose through the ranks to become a partner in 2017. As the pro bono and gender champion partner in the Singapore office, she is passionate about using her knowledge and expertise to help people and the community, Ashurst says.
