Before joining Han Kun in 2024, Ms. Low practiced as a corporate and regulatory lawyer at a prestigious international law firm. Her work covers a wide range of corporate transactions, with particular focus on equity capital markets, M&As, financial services regulation, and funds.
Ms. Low's experience in equity capital markets include advising companies and financial advisers on initial public offerings and reverse take-over exercises on the SGX Mainboard and the SGX Catalist board, advising listed companies and their stakeholders on their regulatory and compliance requirements as they undertake various corporate transactions for their fund-raising activities (e.g. placements, rights issues, etc.), acquisitions and disposals, and where required, advising on requirements of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (for both offerors and offerees).
Ms. Low has undertaken extensive advisory work in the financial services industry, including advising on clients on their licensing and regulations under the Securities and Futures Act, Financial Advisers Act and Payment Services Act, assisting clients with their license applications as well as advising on their ongoing licensing obligations. In the course of her work, Ms. Low has also worked closely with fund managers, advising them from the fund formation stage (whether the fund is set up by way of VCC, limited partnership, and/or private limited company), coordinating with the tax advisors and fund administrators from the preparation of the fund documents and launching the fund to the closing down of the fund.
Ms. Low has also acted for private equity clients and listed companies, including state-owned fund clients in their various M&A and private equity transactions across various industries. Typically, these transactions include advising on the sale structure, conducting and/or facilitating the due diligence review on the target entity, drafting and negotiating the transaction documents, liaising with foreign counsels or other experts on other areas of practice as needed (such as intellectual property, tax, competition law, etc.), and attending to the closing of the transaction.
