His addition is a great asset to our corporate practice. It also reflects our firm's commitment to expand our offering to assist our clients in increasingly complex deals.

years of experience in capital market transactions such as initial public offerings, share placements, rights issue, and other transactional and advisory matters involving listed companies.
