Lih Chuan Sieh
Senior Partner
Lih Chuan is a corporate and commercial lawyer with a strong focus on equity capital markets, M&A and joint ventures, and regulatory compliance. He advises founders, boards, and investors on transactions across the business lifecycle—from structuring and fundraising to post-deal integration and ongoing governance.
A secondment with a regional logistics company sharpened his sense for what in-house teams need: clear options, workable timelines, and documents that hold up in fast-moving operations. His approach is pragmatic, detail-driven, and anchored on delivering actionable outcomes.
Areas of focus
Equity Capital Markets: IPO and private placement readiness, due diligence coordination, prospectus and key document review, and post-listing compliance.
Mergers & Acquisitions / Joint Ventures: Term sheets, due diligence, SPA/SHA drafting and negotiation, regulatory strategy, and closing mechanics.
Corporate Structuring & Governance: Group reorganisations, shareholder arrangements, board processes, and compliance frameworks.
Regulatory & Compliance: Licensing and conduct requirements for highly regulated sectors; policy drafting and implementation.
Commercial Contracts: Long-term supply, distribution, logistics, services, and technology agreements supporting day-to-day operations.
How he adds value
Business-aligned advice: Legal strategy tied to commercial goals, risk appetite, and stakeholder expectations.
Execution you can plan around: Clear next steps, responsibilities, and dates—so deals move without surprises.
Inside-out perspective: In-house secondment experience means advice that works for finance, ops, and the board—not just the legal file.
