Introduction

With more than 18 years of experience in a range of corporate work across various sectors in Singapore and the Asia Pacific, Marcus Chow has developed a broad area of expertise around M&A, private equity, venture capital and equity capital markets.

His practice encompasses advising buyers and sellers in M&A in the private and public markets. He also advises on private equity and venture capital investments and exits.

The rise of technology transforming various industries and the economy has created exciting opportunities for businesses. Being at the heart of Asia in Singapore, Marcus is privileged to be part of the legal team that will help with the disruptions and transformation in this digital era.

At Bird & Bird where technology is very much a driving force behind what the firm does, the firm is well placed to serve clients and understand their needs. The transactional team works closely with the firm’s sectoral colleagues where deep pockets of sectorial expertise sit. The firm has been involved in several cross-border transactions in the Asia-Pacific region and also inbound investments from elsewhere into Singapore and the region and outbound from Singapore into the UK and Australia and Europe.

The other important focus of Marcus’ practice is equity capital markets. His team helps local and international corporates, including startups, to raise capital by way of initial public offerings, private placements, rights and warrants issues, private investment in public equity offerings and take-private transactions for companies on the Singapore Exchange. He also acts as Singapore counsel in outbound initial public offerings on other key international stock exchanges including the NYSE, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Australian Securities Exchange, and Bursa Malaysia.

Having previously worked at other international law firms in New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore, Marcus is able to bring to the table international experience and the ability to seamlessly coordinate efforts across borders in multi-jurisdictional deals.
