Partner

Pearlyn Xie is a partner in the Firm’s Corporate Practice, with a dual focus on equity capital markets (ECM) and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). She advises corporations, financial institutions, and investors across the full spectrum of corporate transactions, from complex cross-border deals to strategic domestic mandates. Pearlyn is recognised for her commercial acumen and her commitment to delivering practical, solutions-oriented advice that helps clients achieve successful outcomes.

In her ECM practice, Pearlyn has advised on initial public offerings (IPOs), secondary listings, and dual listings on major exchanges including the Singapore Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the NYSE, Nasdaq, and major PRC bourses. Beyond listings, she also advises on secondary offerings (such as rights issues and share placements), equity-linked instruments (including convertible bond offerings), pre-IPO investments, and post-listing compliance and continuing obligations.

In her M&A practice, Pearlyn acts for buyers, sellers, and target companies in both public and private transactions. Her experience spans public takeovers and privatisations (whether by way of schemes of arrangement or general offers), reverse takeovers, strategic acquisitions and divestments, management buyouts, and corporate restructurings.

Beyond ECM and M&A, Pearlyn also advises on general corporate matters and private credit transactions, including mezzanine financing. A fluent speaker of English and Mandarin, she regularly acts for PRC-based clients and is experienced in managing cross-border transactions conducted in Chinese.
