Anita Quy Steps Up as Co-Lead of Kennedys Legal Solutions in Singapore
In a thrilling turn of events, global powerhouse law firm Kennedys has promoted Anita Quy to a joint managing partner position at Kennedys Legal Solutions in the Singaporean hub. Quy will be sharing this impressive title with current joint managing partner Kevin Kwek. Despite her new position, Quy will maintain her role as the region's aviation guru for the Asia Pacific, creating a unique blend of leadership and expertise.
Quy expressed her excitement about this fresh chapter saying, " Our firm is expanding, and we're aiming to strengthen our footing in Singapore and across the Asia Pacific. I can't wait to work alongside my colleagues to deliver top-notch legal services and cultivate a work environment that champions collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity."
Quy has built an impressive legal career spanning over two decades, with a strong focus on the aviation insurance markets in both the Asia-Pacific and the United Kingdom. Her clientele includes airlines, airport authorities, general aviation operators, insurers, airport regulators, and more. She's no stranger to handling catastrophic aviation losses, single and cross-border insurance litigation, and resolving disputes. Beyond dispute resolution, Quy offers valuable insights on contractual liability, regulatory matters, risk management, and other non-contentious issues.
Kwek expressed his enthusiasm about Quy's new role, stating, "I've had the pleasure of working with Anita for many years now. Witnessing her unwavering dedication, skill, and leadership in the aviation and insurance sectors, I'm genuinely looking forward to collaborating even more closely with her as we grow our Singapore office, bolster our market presence, and enhance our services for our clients."
Matt Andrews, Asia Pacific managing partner, echoed Kwek's sentiments, adding, "Anita's expansive knowledge of aviation insurance law, coupled with her profound understanding of the industry's peculiarities and challenges, makes her an ideal fit to co-lead our Singapore office. Her commitment to diversity and inclusion aligns beautifully with our firm's values. We're eager to see the impact of her leadership in shaping the continued success of our practice in Singapore and beyond."
Quy's ascent to the managing partner role comes on the heels of Julian Wallace's retirement from the partnership to embark on a new global insurer role in the UK.
Anita Quy, Joint Managing Partner at Kennedys Legal Solutions in Singapore, oversees legal matters related to the aviation sector in the Asia Pacific region. Her dual role showcases her leadership stature within the firm, with a concentration on the aviation industry across Asia Pacific.
Kwek and Quy, the joint managing partners at Kennedys Legal Solutions in Singapore, aim to broaden the firm's footprint in Singapore and across the Asia Pacific by 2025, focusing on the aviation sector.
In the finance sector, the partnership between Quy and Kwek is expected to bolster services for clients, with Quy's expertise in aviation insurance law and industry knowledge driving innovation.
The technology sector, including fintech firms, may benefit from this partnership, as Quy's insights on risk management, regulatory matters, and non-contentious issues in the aviation sector can provide valuable lessons for other sectors.
Quy's rise to joint managing partner follows Julian Wallace's retirement from the partnership, paving the way for new leadership and growth opportunities in the firm, particularly in the aviation sector.
