Graham Lim

Graham Lim is a versatile lawyer with more than 25 years of transactional and advisory experience across multiple disciplines. Based in Hong Kong, he draws on more than a decade spent at Jones Day in New York, London, and Singapore, bringing an on-the-ground perspective on U.S., UK, and Asia-Pacific market practices in leveraged and structured finance. He also counsels fund investors and portfolio companies on acquisitions, exits, and strategic partnerships, as well as on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and oversight considerations.

In projects and infrastructure, Graham represents sponsors, lenders, and strategic investors on renewables, telecommunication, and transportation assets across the United States, Latin America, Africa, and Asia, steering mandates from prequalification, bid evaluation, to financial close and EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction). His knowledge of this space is informed by a formative period spent in construction arbitration and litigation, giving him a practical grasp of the realities of risk allocation, claims, and dispute management.

Financial institutions Graham has represented include Ares Management, BNP Paribas, China Development Bank, Macquarie Capital, National Australia Bank, Natixis, PAG, Société Générale, Standard Bank, and Wells Fargo.

Graham has served on the Documentation Committee of the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) for more than a decade. He is fluent in English and Mandarin.
