Our Capital Markets and Listed Companies practice offers comprehensive legal advisory services to companies listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) as well as those preparing for initial public offerings (IPOs), dual listings, and other capital markets transactions across the region. We assist listed companies with a full range of continuing compliance matters, including obligations under the SGX-ST Listing Rules and the Securities and Futures Act (SFA), corporate governance requirements under the Code of Corporate Governance, and the preparation of key documentation such as shareholder circulars, market announcements, and disclosures related to price-sensitive information, major acquisitions and disposals, interested person transactions (IPTs), and employee share option and incentive schemes.
Beyond Singapore, we are equipped to advice on capital markets transactions across key jurisdictions in Asia. We support clients in navigating the regulatory frameworks of various regional exchanges and securities regulators, and we work closely with issuers, underwriters, and financial advisers on cross-border offerings. Our work includes advising on regulatory compliance, drafting and reviewing prospectuses and offering documents in accordance with applicable local laws, and coordinating the preparation and lodgement of offering materials with the relevant authorities. We also advice on the regulatory framework for the distribution of securities, and the conditions and requirements affecting such distribution, either by way of private placement or through a more extensive offering both in Singapore and in the ASEAN region.
With our strong regional presence and network, we are further well equipped to handle sizeable legal due diligence across multiple jurisdictions in Asia and contribute legal content for offering documents in multi-market listings. We are experienced in issuing legal opinions on the business and legal status of subsidiaries or affiliates located across the region, and we are well-positioned to support clients through the full lifecycle of domestic and international capital markets transactions.
