Career
Mei Mei graduated from the University of London in 2001 and obtained the Certificate in Legal Practice from the Malaysian Qualifying Board in 2003. Since her admission to the Malaysian Bar in 2005, Mei Mei has been practising in the Corporate & Commercial Practice Group, handling a wide spectrum of corporate and commercial work ranging from day-to-day commercial matters to mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance and real estate. She is active in regulatory and compliance work for clients in many different industries (including but not limited to oil and gas, banking and finance and hotel management). Among her longstanding clients are some that are instantly recognisable multinational corporations, whom she assists on a regular basis.
In recent years, she has focused on financial technology (or “fintech”), earning a Band-1 ranking in Chambers FinTech Legal. In this respect, she advises on licensing and regulatory compliance with respect to various forms of payment methods and financial products delivered through the use of technology, the issuance of electronic money (e-money) and the provision of micro-financing; multiple cross-border issues arising from such payment methods and financial products; and anti-money laundering and counter-financing terrorism laws. Of late, many clients have turned to her for advice on digital banking.
The Inhouse Community (a community of inhouse legal professionals in Asia and the Middle East) listed Mei Mei as one of the Commended External Counsel, Malaysia, 2022-2023.
