Charles Russell Speechlys—Timmoney Ng

Partner promotion in Singapore international tax team

Charles Russell Speechlys has promoted Timmoney Ng to partner in the international tax team in Singapore. This is the Singapore office’s first partner promotion and coincides with a move from the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) to a new office in One Raffles Quay.

Timmoney joined the firm in April 2024 as a legal director, as part of a newly added international tax team alongside partners Ivan Lu and Kurt Rademacher and senior associate Hara Kee. Since joining the firm, he has been an integral part of the team, advising a variety of clients on US tax matters from companies and funds, to investors and entrepreneurs.

Timmoney is a specialist US tax lawyer, whose practice focuses on international startup companies, fund investors and large multinational corporations in the tech, life sciences, semiconductor and crypto/blockchain spaces.

Jeffrey Lee, Partner and Head of the Singapore office, said: ‘Timmoney has been an invaluable member of the firm since joining, and delivers exceptional service to clients on complex matters. We’d like to extend the warmest congratulations to him on his promotion—it is very well deserved.’

 Simon Green, partner and head of Asia at the firm, added: ‘We have had a strong first year of operations in Singapore and the office has made a significant contribution to our recent financial results (where we reported a 30% revenue increase across Asia). I am excited about our move to new offices as I see it as a real statement of intent about what we hope to achieve in the Singapore market. I also want to congratulate Timmoney on his well-deserved promotion, which will further enhance our offering and adds to the momentum that we are building in Asia.’

Commenting on his appointment, Timmoney said: ‘It’s a privilege to be stepping up to join the firm’s partnership, and especially so to be doing so at a time of such growth. There is so much opportunity to be had in Asia, and I have been particularly impressed with the collaborative approach taken by everybody in the firm. I look forward to continuing to serve my clients in my new role.’
