King & Wood Mallesons

King & Wood Mallesons is best-known for its strategic and high-level standalone advisory offering for banks, securities firms, infrastructure providers and asset managers. The ‘technically very strong’ Minny Siu has been pivotal to the firm’s success on the fintech front and has gained particular visibility for virtual banks seeking licensing approvals and infrastructure providers providing tech-driven product platforms, as well as through her work on behalf of Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association’s (ASIFMA) fintech working group. Andrew Fei, who maintains a strong core structured finance regulatory/transactional offering, is also very keyed into fintech developments, including as it relates to digital assets. Richard Mazzochi has a more traditional regulatory focus to his banking and finance offering, co-heading the overarching team alongside Siu that also includes Cindy Shek – who is well informed on the traditional and fintech regulatory issues impacting asset management clients, in particular. The Sydney-based Urszula McCormack is noted for her market-leading fintech capabilities, an area of the practice that was further enhanced by the arrival in July 2025 of a two-partner team from Linklaters, including Chin-Chong Liew who is particularly skilled at advising on digital asset projects.
