Clifford Chance hires capital markets head from WongPartnership

Clifford Chance has hired equity capital markets specialist Raymond Tong from its former joint-venture partner in Singapore, WongPartnership.

Tong, who headed the capital markets practice at WongPartnership, worked with lawyers from Clifford Chance during the nine-year joint venture between the two firms, including most recently the $2 billion IPO last year by CapitaMalls Asia, which was the city’s largest offering in 15 years.
