Veteran shipping litigator John Seow has quit as a partner at top Singapore law firm Rajah & Tann to join newcomer Incisive Law in the wake of that firm’s break-up with Ince & Co.

“John joins Incisive as head of litigation,” Incisive joint managing director Wai Yue Loh told TradeWinds.

Seow formally quit his Rajah & Tann partnership a week ago but started work at Incisive on Monday.
