Venture Capital

Considerations for a fast-moving age

As startups seize opportunities in new and growing markets and innovation continues to push the boundaries of commerce and business in South-east Asia, laws and regulations are evolving to keep up with change.  We know that fast-growing companies and their investors need incisive advice from advisors with a deep understanding of their needs through the different stages of growth.

A customised approach

Working closely with other firms as part of A&G Asia, our team is capable of acting for a wide range of participants in the venture capital ecosystem and our investor and startup clients cut across various profiles and sectors. 

On the investor-side, we are able to act for venture capitalists, private equity firms, corporate venture capital arms and other strategic or financial investors, and take a proactive and calibrated approach to protect our clients’ interests effectively, with particular regard to the multi-faceted nature of issues frequently posed by transactions in South-east Asia.     

On the founder and venture-backed company-side, we take a holistic and practical approach, which is carefully tailored to each founder and company to provide effective support. 

In each case, our team will have access to subject matter experts across A&G Asia, including Capital Markets, Competition & Foreign Investments Review, Corporate Regulatory & Compliance, Employment, Fintech, Intellectual Property, and Technology, Media & Telecommunications.

Regional experience and support

Tapping on the knowledge of A&G Asia across the region, we are uniquely-placed to work on cross-border matters, where our deep knowledge of local norms and regulations play a pivotal role in helping our clients navigate through complex issues effectively and to execute quickly.
