We advise financial institutions, fintech innovators, funds and corporate borrowers on regulatory, transactional and contentious matters across Asia’s continually evolving financial services landscape.
Our Financial Services practice integrates regulatory insight with commercial execution. We advise across the full lifecycle of financial activity, from structuring financing deals and navigating cross-border lending, to advising on fund formation, compliance with securities laws and dispute resolution.
We support banks, payment service providers, asset managers, family offices and listed companies on their transactional, compliance and restructuring needs. Our team also acts in complex disputes involving financial fraud, white collar crime and regulatory enforcement.
We also have deep experience in alternative finance structures including convertible debt, tokenised assets, venture debt and sustainability-linked financing.
As digital innovation drives rapid transformation in financial services and capital markets, fintech companies face heightened regulatory scrutiny worldwide. Our team has a strong focus on blockchain, cryptocurrency, and payment services, offering clients practical legal solutions grounded in deep industry knowledge. Our lawyers are experienced in emerging financial products including merchant acquisition services, consumer finance solutions, real estate-backed digital tokens, gold-backed digital tokens, utility tokens, digital payment tokens, and e-money issuance.
We partner with private equity and venture capital firms, fund managers, family offices, founders, and investors to structure, launch and grow funds across Asia and beyond. Our team combines deep sector knowledge with commercially attuned legal strategies to execute high-growth investments, navigate complex cross-border transactions and unlock value from early-stage ventures to mature exits.
We advise clients throughout the lifecycle of a fund, from origination and formation to operations, portfolio investments, distributions, and exits. Our services cover fund management arrangements, tax structuring, licensing and regulatory compliance. For emerging technologies, we support both investors and founders, offering pragmatic solutions that balance innovation with risk management in fast-moving markets.
