SINGAPORE - Former Speaker of Parliament Michael Palmer will be
joining law firm Lawrence Quahe & Woo.
Mr Palmer was formerly with Harry Elias Partnership.
Mr Quahe said Mr Palmer will be a significant addition to the
firm's capability in serving the regional needs of its clients, in
particular Indonesia.
He added that more importantly, Mr Palmer will enhance the
firm's capacity to provide litigation services in complex
cross-border cases, without the burden of large firm conflict of
interest restrictions.
Mr Palmer, who was the former PAP MP for Punggol East, quit
politics in December after revelations of an extra-marital
affair.
