Ker Wei Tiam
Partner and Malaysia Practice Leader, Sydney
As an expert in company and investment funds, I am uniquely positioned to act for clients belonging to either or both groups – particularly stapled entities.

I am a trusted adviser to my clients on their public and private M&A transactions, capital raisings, strategic joint ventures, fund formations and a broad range of corporate, trust, commercial, governance and regulatory matters. With over 20 years' experience, I have particular expertise in the property, financial services and renewables sector.

I have a keen eye for detail, aptitude to solve complex issues and take a commercial, solutions-focused approach to understanding and achieving my clients’ needs. Having practised extensively in Southeast Asia, I am attuned to the professional and cultural subtleties of doing business throughout the region and am fluent in Malay and converse in Mandarin.
