Stefanie Yuen Thio was interviewed in Lianhe Zaobao by Hu Yuan Wen.

The article highlighted the changing business landscape for corporate law, with a shift in focus from IPOs to M&As (p. 22). Stefanie was quoted saying how IPO work has decreased in the last few years, and that the TSMP team has been involved in more private equity investment and privatisation projects instead.

She added that as interest rates enter a downward cycle, funds seek investment opportunities, resulting in the growth of private equity investment. As for delisting and privatisation, Stefanie mentioned that the threshold for M&A work is higher and requires a good grasp of the takeover code, which she has 30 years of experience in.
