Brian Chia heads the Corporate & Commercial practice group. He focuses on mergers and acquisitions, private equity investments, and corporate restructurings and reorganisations.

He has represented a large number of leading multinationals, foreign as well as domestic, on both inward and outward bound transactions and has co-ordinated multi-jurisdictional transactions through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic alliances.

In its 2010 edition, Chambers Asia quoted clients as saying of Brian that “His insight is very useful to us, and helps us understand the bigger picture without getting bogged down with details.” He was named a leading lawyer for Mergers & Acquisitions by IFLR 1000 in its 2011 edition. He has been described in Asialaw Profiles 2011 as a leading practitioner and has “a consistent and proven track record in acting for multinational clients as a first port of call in Malaysia”.

Brian holds a B.Sc, LLB and a MSC (awarded with distinction) in Finance. He was admitted as a Barrister in England and Wales in 1990, called to the Bar of Malaysia in 1991 and the Singapore Bar in 1997.
