About

“A successful private practice career saw Cassie Low initially operate at Drew & Napier before joining Ince & Co in 2009, where she blazed a highly successful trail in the international trade and shipping space. Leaving private practice in 2013 to join Anglo American, Low, based in the Singapore office, was responsible for oversight of day-to-day marketing activities and provided strategic and tactical legal advice on key initiatives and projects critical to Anglo American’s marketing business portfolio. She also took on overall responsibility for the legal team in Singapore. In 2018, the latest chapter of her career began with her move to Hartree Partners where she is at the forefront of its Asia Pacific activities and where she has made a strong impression in a short space of time. Recalling her career so far, particular highlights that stand out when discussing Low’s main successes include leading and advising on the set up of Anglo American’s financial and physical trading desks in Singapore and London, the establishment of Anglo American’s office in Shanghai, and taking on the challenges of managing and supervising a team of lawyers based in Singapore and London. For Low, these experiences have cultivated ‘a deeper understanding of the commercial drivers and mentality behind a company’s trading activities’, ‘abilities to navigate legal and practical complexities in challenging jurisdictions’ and ‘soft skills in the sphere of leadership and management’, all of which have been instrumental, and continue to be crucial, to her ability to operate successfully in an in-house environment in tandem with the business which she
acts for. “
