On 6 May, US law firm Skadden announced that Rajeev Duggal has rejoined the firm as a partner, and will lead its M&A, corporate and finance team from its Singapore office. Duggal brings to the firm vast expertise, having held senior legal positions at financial firm Citi in Singapore, where he most recently served as general counsel for the company’s retail businesses in the Asia-Pacific region.
Duggal was previously deputy co-head of Citi’s proprietary M&A legal department based in New York. Prior to that, he served as counsel at Skadden, representing clients such as CGMI, Newbridge, Telekom Malaysia and PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia on M&A transactions.
Discussing his return to the firm and his experience at Citi, Duggal told India Business Law Journal: “There is an ever-present need for practitioners in Asia who combine private practice and business-centric in-house experience. So the opportunity, as we get ready for the next upward turn in the business cycle, to leverage my Citi M&A, transactional and regulatory experience and serve clients as part of the Skadden platform was a compelling proposition.”
