Jolie Giouw

Jolie Giouw is a Partner in the Corporate and Commercial Group in Singapore. Her primary practice area is Mergers and Acquisitions, with a focus on corporate finance as well as M&A.

As a member of a dynamic and international corporate and commercial team, she has advised many private and listed companies in respect of their commercial transactions and fundraising exercises, both in Singapore and abroad.

Her experience in corporate finance ranges from advising both corporates and investors on early-stage PE/VC investments to private placements, initial public offerings and secondary offerings. In addition, she advises companies in both public and private mergers and acquisitions, including privatisation exercises.

She believes in the importance of going the extra mile to better understand each client's concerns, business and operations, in order to effectively work with them to come up with commercial and legal solutions that can achieve their objectives within the constraints presented. Her experience at a Chinese investment bank has also given her a more holistic perspective of the various matters that can impact a transaction, including cultural and political issues, beyond the law and regulations.

Notwithstanding the demands and deadlines of transactional work, she makes time to continually upgrade her skills by undertaking postgraduate and professional certification programmes, and to contribute to the community. She regularly volunteers at community legal clinics to provide free legal advice to individuals and acts as a mentor to aspiring law undergraduates in the local universities.
