The role of in-house teams has become more strategic over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The best ones are those that have demonstrated not just leadership and innovation, but also the ability to reshape themselves to better support their business in a changing world.
In its annual list, ALB highlights some of Asia’s distinguished lawyers working with offshore law firms. These legal professionals have outperformed their peers and earned wide recognition from their clients with high-quality advice and support.
Lim has spent 35 years in the legal industry. He joined Conyers in 2007. A corporate and commercial law specialist, he advises on capital markets, corpo-rate, finance, mergers and acquisitions, mortgage backed securities transac-tions, MTN programmes, tender offers, consent solicitations, IPOs and pre-IPOs in the Hong Kong, London and the US exchanges involving Cayman Islands, Bermuda and British Virgin Islands offshore companies.
Digital assets (including cryptocurrency and digital tokens), currently governed by the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Business B.E. 2561, have been adopted widely in Thailand both as a means of payment (“MOP”) for goods and services, and investments. The dramatic growth of the use of digital assets has been a concern for the Thai authorities, particularly the use of digital assets as a MOP. From the authorities’ point of view, the use of digital assets for such purpose may lead to various negative impacts, including cyber espionage and money laundering. Thus, on 18 March 2022, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission issued a new Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board to regulate such matters (the “New Regulation”), which came into effect on 1 April 2022.
Hau has spent almost 20 years in the legal industry. He joined Conyers in 2012. Hau is a seasoned commercial litigator with extensive experience in restructuring and insolvency matters and shareholders disputes in Hong Kong, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands. He has also been recognised in the 2020 Edition of IFLR1000, named among the “Top 15 Offshore Litigators 2021” by Asian Legal Business Magazine, and “The A-List Top 50 Offshore Lawyers 2022” by Asia Business Law Journal.
