The nascent corporate and M&A practice at Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill demonstrates a broad scope of expertise, which includes foreign investments, private equity deals, and corporate reorganisation exercises. Acting for government-linked companies and financial institutions, the group is led by Tay Weng Hwee, who draws from his two decades of experience to lead high-value transactions and joint ventures. The team’s deep bench strength includes Steven SY Tee, who handles shareholder agreements, Teo Wai Sum, a go-to for corporate restructuring, and Bella Chu Chai Yee, who concentrates on business acquisitions and equity capital markets. Thivya Manokaran is recommended, as is Joyce Ong Kar Yee, who covers the acquisition of existing project assets.
