Adrian Ang – Allen & Gledhill LLP

Described as the ‘pre-eminent firm in APAC for fintech and financial services regulatory matters’, Allen & Gledhill LLP‘s practice runs the gamut of contentious and non-contentious work, including licensing and conduct of business requirements for banking, corporate finance and reorganisations in the financial services sector. Licensing advisory work for fintechs and crypto disputes are further areas of expertise for a team that frequently plays an active role in the consultation process for new regulations. Leadership duties are divided between Francis Mok, a practitioner who is described as standing ‘heads and shoulders above his competitors in the regulatory field’, Karen Tiah, who excels in banking and finance regulatory matters, the ‘incredibly helpful’ co-head of fintech Adrian Ang, and fellow fintech specialist Alexander Yap, who is a key contact for data breach matters. Catherine Neo is well equipped to advise on regulatory issues arising from the acquisition of regulated entities. Ensuring a smooth relationship exists between regulators and financial institutions is a staple of Zhi Feng Tan‘s far-reaching practice. Associate Alexander Fong Yi is a further name to note.
