Consistently rated as one of Asia’s leading corporate advisers, Fred Kinmonth is MinterEllison’s Asia Chairman and the Managing Partner of the firm’s offices in Asia. Spanning more than 35 years, Fred’s experience is matched by impressively wide legal expertise. He has practised as a corporate and transactional lawyer, and as an investment banker, in London and Hong Kong (in HK for over 20 years). While an investment banker, Fred’s responsibilities included equity fund-raisings in a number of Asia countries, including Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. He advises investors, issuers and underwriters on IPOs (both main board and GEM), rights issues, share placings and public and private mergers and acquisitions, as well as private equity investments. Recently, he advised the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the new listing rules (Chapter 18) applying to mineral and oil and gas companies.
