We act for both companies raising capital and investors deploying it, across every stage of the funding journey — from pre-seed and seed rounds through to Series and pre-IPO investments.
We advise on venture capital and growth investments across Southeast Asia, including convertible notes, redeemable convertible preference shares and shareholders’ arrangements. Our experience covers technology, e-commerce, drone services and proptech, with particular strength in cross-border investment structuring, due diligence, group reorganisations and transaction execution.
Whether you are a founder seeking growth capital or a fund manager taking a strategic stake, we structure, negotiate and close rounds that protect your position and support the next stage of growth.
