Chua See Hua

Christopher & Lee Ong, a member firm of Rajah & Tann Asia, has added Chua See Hua as a partner to co-head the restructuring and insolvency practice. She brings extensive experience and a wide range of local and international clients. Chua joins the firm at a time when Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, sees an increase in debt restructuring and insolvency affecting multiple industries, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has led a number of notable deals, from the Asian financial crisis to the 2008 global financial crisis, where she advised borrowers, lenders and administrators on the corporate debt restructuring of huge portfolios of Malaysian public listed groups. Her practice extends to advising major corporations on acquisitions and divestments of companies, banking, property-related issues, private equity investments, and capital markets. Chua and her team join from Chua Associates, a law firm specialising in restructuring and insolvency, which she founded in 2010.
