Chelsea Chan

I am an associate in Bird & Bird's Corporate and Commercial group in Singapore. I am involved in a range of corporate work for clients in various industries such as technology and communications, energy and utilities, healthcare, media, entertainment and retail and consumer.

I have worked on corporate transactional matters such as mergers & acquisitions, start-up funding and corporate restructuring. In these matters, I have acted for large multinational companies, local small and medium enterprises and venture capitals.

I also advise on matters relating to corporate governance and regulatory compliance for clients from various industries. For example, advising foreign companies wishing to expand into Singapore on the applicable corporate and regulatory regime, and how to structure their businesses to comply with local requirements.

On top of acting for companies, I also act for charities, associations and statutory boards on their various legal and governance needs.

I am thankful to be part of a forward-looking and highly experienced team in Bird & Bird, where I am able to develop my expertise and stay relevant in an ever-changing economic climate.
