Goodwin has made its first lateral partner hire in Singapore with Matthew Nortcliff, according to Law.com. Nortcliff focuses on venture capital deals involving the real estate and technology sectors, advising fund managers on regulatory issues, the establishment and operation of a wide range of funds, structured investments, and joint ventures. He also acts for investors on their fund investments, and corporate and real asset transactions. “Matt is an impactful addition to our global funds platform as well as our Asia offering,” said Greg Barclay, chair of the Singapore office, who relocated from Hong Kong when the Singapore office was launched last October. “His practice fits squarely within our core strategy of advising clients on raising, deploying and lending capital in the region and around the world,” he added, via the firm’s statement.
