LG has made its first Singapore lateral hire since launching in the region last spring, as the firm sets out growth plans for the office.

Ogier partner and British Virgin Islands (BVI) private client head Zac Lucas will join LG in Singapore in February next year. He has been at the offshore firm since 2010 and is qualified in both BVI and UK law.

He will be LG's second permanent partner on the ground in Singapore alongside former senior partner Penny Francis. Private client partner Nick Jacob also splits his time between London and Singapore.
