Practice
Funds, Private Equity & Emerging Technologies
We partner with private equity and venture capital firms, fund managers, family offices, founders, and investors to structure, launch, and grow funds across ASEAN and beyond. Our team combines deep sector knowledge with commercially attuned legal strategies to execute high-growth investments, navigate complex cross-border transactions, and unlock value from early-stage ventures to mature exits.
We advise clients throughout the lifecycle of a fund — from origination and formation to operations, portfolio investments, distributions, and exits. Our services cover fund management arrangements, tax structuring, licensing, and regulatory compliance. For emerging technologies, we support both investors and founders, offering pragmatic solutions that balance innovation with risk management in fast-moving markets.
With offices in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia, and supported by our China, India, and Vietnam Desks, our regional tax and regulatory expertise helps clients leverage Singapore as a hub for their investment activities. Our knowledge of the Variable Capital Company (VCC) regime and regional tax incentive frameworks allows us to design structures that maximise efficiency and growth.
