Our Sustainability Framework

We recognise that climate change and environmental protection are existential issues. Our unrivalled regional footprint and client base in Southeast Asia give us the opportunity to change something bigger than ourselves. Our sustainability vision involves a commitment to integrate climate positive best practices into our decision-making and business activities. 

 

We have developed a Sustainability Framework that will allow us to lead the charge in improving and tracking our network’s sustainability journey in an authentic and progressive manner. This framework also ensures that our activities are aligned with and supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals as well as other local ESG focused frameworks, prioritising areas where we can make the greatest contribution.

Through our market-leading Sustainability Practice, we have our leading lawyers support clients in their own sustainability journey. Through an effective partnership, we can manage the risks and opportunities stemming from ESG issues to ultimately optimise business value and build resilience in our clients’ business models and supply chains.

2021 was another year of braving the pandemic.  In Rajah & Tann Asia, we continued to build and capitalised on our resilience, and embraced the enhancements we made in digital resources and platforms.  We were able to improve our service and offerings in these challenging times, and had a busy and successful year.  What was sorely missed, though, was the same level of personal interaction and social exchanges with our clients and colleagues that we had taken for granted before the Covid-19 outbreak. 

We also longed for more of that buzz of being in the office for collaboration, brainstorming or simply being around the team.  Hopefully, 2022 will be the year in which we have a bit more in-person engagement and a bit less talking to pixelated images!

Staying at the forefront

Even as we battle the pandemic, the global issue of sustainability stayed centre stage in many business considerations. Amidst rising ESG compliance in the region, we formally launched our Sustainability Practice group to help our clients stay ahead and navigate the increasingly complex regulatory and legal frameworks.

Headed by Lee Weilin, Partner of Rajah & Tann Singapore, and supported by lawyers from across our network, this new practice group attests to our multi-disciplinary capabilities and responsiveness to critical changes worldwide.

In the quest to rethink the driving forces that will shape our future, we also organised a global hybrid event, “Beyond Pandemic & Politics: Behold Southeast Asia and the World”. Graced by Singapore’s Minister Chan Chun Sing, the session brought together global thinkers and business leaders to share their strategies and insights into how businesses can navigate the pandemic and tap on the opportunities in Southeast Asia – one of the world’s fastest growing economic regions.

Deepening our Expertise

Singapore has become a preferred home for many high-net-worth clients and their families. With many high-net-worth individuals moving their assets to Singapore, we were excited to introduce our new Private Client microsite which grants one-stop service specifically to high-net-worth clients in Singapore. The site details local and regional insights on private wealth and is also available in Chinese.

Our Arbitration Asia website went live in August, laying out deep analysis on the latest arbitration-related developments across Rajah & Tann Asia’s geographical footprint in the region.

Empowering with Technology

Leveraging on our growing expertise in integrating legal services and technology, we collaborated with Fundnel Limited, Southeast Asia’s largest private investment technology platform, to make strategic business advice readily accessible to the startup ecosystem.

We were also honoured to host the first Asia-Pacific office of the US-based Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) in Singapore. With data breaches surging globally, this partnership underscores our commitment to support clients as cybersecurity mandates become a rising legal risk. In the vein of data protection, we are also proud of our Indonesia member firm for successfully being ISO 27001 certified, highlighting the rigorous risk management controls in place.

We hold deep passion in modelling the future of legal technology and have not forgotten to bring the empowerment back to our people. With the National University of Singapore School of Computing, we curated the R&T x NUS Programme in Legal Innovation & Technology to ready a new generation of lawyers capable of rethinking, transforming and digitalising workflows with disruptive technologies through expressing their ideals in technical terms.

Celebrating Milestones

Most of all, I wish to offer congratulations to Rajah & Tann Singapore, Assegaf Hamzah & Partners and R&T (Asia) Thailand on their 45th, 20th and 10th year anniversaries respectively. Thank you all for the years of excellence, your strong commitment and valuable contributions to the RTA network.

Let us look forward to conquering new challenges in 2022. Stay safe and bright!
