She has advised clients who come from diverse sectors and has also advised on competition law aspects of various M&A transactions including acting as competition law co-counsel in an M&A exercise of a listed company by providing advice and assistance on every aspect of Malaysia competition law from advising on the setting up of clean teams, to attending competitor companies’ pre-integration meetings. She also regularly conducts competition law trainings and has acted for various companies in their compliance programs.

Aside from competition law practice, Jane is part of the sustainability practice, which encompasses the ESG factors (Environment, Social and Governance) and is involved in competition and crisis management, working closely with clients to manage and limit reputational and institutional risks and offering appropriate counter-measures to be undertaken. Jane is also regularly involved in M&A corporate exercises and she also advises and assists clients in the regulatory areas including on consumer protection, employment and restrictive practices.
