RGE’s Head of Legal, Rose Kong, said the accolades validated the legal team’s efforts, dedication and professionalism not only in 2019, but the many preceding years of being a business partner providing value-added lawyering services to the various business groups.

She added, “I am proud to be leading a team of professionals who are publicly recognised across multiple categories in these various Asia-focused legal awards. This is a testament to the team’s hard work and professionalism, and how we have contributed as a value-adding corporate function to the RGE group’s growth and expansion.”

“Because of the various industries and geographies our businesses are involved in, each project has its own unique set of challenges – which include commercial contracts, sustainability-related and environmental compliances, labour policies, and many more.”

“Personifying the RGE Core Values, the team met these challenges and complexities head-on, and surmounted them competently and resourcefully. It is especially rewarding to be part of a professional and commercially-minded team that contributes meaningfully to a world-class global group of companies.”
