JurisAsia’s Corporate M&A practice advises on the full spectrum of corporate and financing transactions across Southeast Asia and beyond — from early-stage growth capital to complex, multi-jurisdictional mergers and acquisitions involving listed companies, private equity funds, and major regional conglomerates. We also regularly advise on a wide range of financing transactions such as acquisition finance, private debt structures and venture debt.
We are consistently ranked by the Legal 500 and IFLR1000 for both corporate M&A and financing work and have been named by Asian Legal Business as a Firm to Watch. Our clients include multinational corporations, banks, regional conglomerates and PE funds.
The practice is led by Tan Choon Leng, with over 20 years of experience in complex cross-border M&A. He is consistently recognised by IFLR1000, Asialaw Profiles and Legal Week.
Our work spans mergers and acquisitions, foreign direct investment, joint ventures, venture equity and debt transactions, debt financing and refinancing, and capital markets advisory. We focus primarily on Singapore, Southeast Asia, and cross-border transactions between Asia and Europe or North America.
We act for vendors, acquirers, investors, borrowers, lenders, and financial advisors, and regularly work alongside international law firms, investment banks and in-house legal teams on complex, high-value matters. Beyond the transaction itself, we advise on joint venture structuring, shareholder agreements and board-level governance for listed and unlisted companies across the region.

Prashaanth Rajandran is a Senior Associate in JurisAsia’s corporate department. His practice spans mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, employment law, capital markets, and regulatory matters — with a particular focus on transactions and situations that require legal analysis and strategic advice across more than one discipline at once.
He brings an additional dimension to the corporate practice through his background in data protection and regulatory compliance — having previously worked in an in-house data protection team where he implemented measures to comply with international data protection legislation across multiple jurisdictions. That experience informs his approach to cross-border corporate matters, where regulatory risk is increasingly at the forefront of clients’ minds.
Prashaanth advises on complex cross-border corporate reorganisation exercises, as well as employment matters for multinational employers — ranging from executive terminations and regulatory compliance to policy updates and more sensitive matters such as employee misconduct and regulatory investigations. His clients include regional conglomerates, multinational corporations, private equity sponsors, and NASDAQ-listed companies.
He takes a commercial approach to every matter — offering analysis from a business angle, not merely a legal one. Legal 500 clients have noted that he is always helpful, always takes the initiative, and offers advice from a commercial angle that is very much appreciated.

Leveraging on her unique exposure across corporate transactions, financing and dispute resolution, Clarissa is adept at guiding clients through the commercial and regulatory challenges that arise at every stage of the life-cycle of a business, and at navigating the intricate intersection of personal and financial considerations, to protect her client’s wealth well before any dispute arises.
