She has particular experience in applications for the appointment of “soft touch” or “light touch” provisional liquidators, cross-border restructurings, and has acted for liquidators on an extensive range of matters arising out of liquidations (both compulsory and voluntary), including those requiring the recognition of foreign appointed liquidators.

In addition, she has a broad range of experience in offshore commercial litigation matters. She has acted in high-value and complex commercial disputes involving, inter alia, fraud, breaches of directors’ duties, fund disputes, shareholder disputes, and minority dissent proceedings.

Kimberley’s legal career began in the Corporate Restructuring Workout practice group of one of Singapore’s leading firms, Drew and Napier LLC, and thereafter, she worked for Abraham Vergis SC at Providence Law Asia, a boutique specialist litigation firm in Singapore.
