Jennifer Chia

Jennifer Chia is a Partner at TSMP and heads the firm's Banking and Finance Law and Corporate Real Estate desks. She is in a unique position to advise and act on both the funding and acquisition aspects of a property transaction.

While dealing in commercial and industrial buildings is her bread and butter, she also has a thriving practice in general corporate work encompassing investments, convertible loan transactions, joint ventures, share and business sale transactions. Additionally, she advises listed companies on their regulatory and compliance matters.

Her clients include banks, financial institutions, multinational corporates and high-net-worth individuals, who value her for going to bed thinking about their problems and waking up with solutions.

She is notorious for negotiating fair but hard, with an ability to close deals under intense pressure and tight deadlines. Outside practice, she helped set up iC2 PrepHouse, a Singapore charity where she is now director, company secretary and legal advisor, which teaches life skills to low-sight individuals, particularly children. She is also company secretary at Boys' Town. She holds an LL.B. (Hons) from the National University of Singapore.
