Rajah & Tann partner Danny Ong leaves to start law firm focused on crypto disputes

RAJAH & Tann partner Danny Ong, a dispute resolutions specialist, is leaving the firm and starting his own practice this month, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The veteran lawyer will be bringing around 10 lawyers from Rajah & Tann to his new firm, Setia Law, which will specialise in dispute resolution, fraud and financial crimes, as well as debt restructuring and insolvency, particularly in the digital asset space.

One of the high-profile clients Ong represented during his 15 years at Rajah & Tann was B2C2 – a liquidity provider for digital assets based in the United Kingdom.
