Clients, on Andrea:
“AEI Legal and Andrea are our go to counsel for corporate work as they are able to rapidly execute, highly communicative, commercial-minded and cost effective. It is a pleasure working with them.”
“While Andrea and AEI are without a doubt top notch legal professionals, what sets them apart is their ability to advise on strategic matters that eventually play out legally. As a founder you want the promise of a magic circle firm but the intimacy of a small local setup - with AEI you get both!”
“Both our company and our NYC HQ have sought Andrea’s advice and expertise over the past 6 years. Her knowledge of the law coupled with her intellect and integrity are the key reasons we stayed with Andrea when she set up AEI Legal. ”
“Andrea Chee and her team at AEI Legal are very efficient and very commercial deal counsel – I highly recommend them for both private financings and M&A transactions in Singapore.”
“The AEI Legal team was essential in structuring the legal terms of our fundraising round. Their commercial expertise & market experience helped us evaluate and negotiate terms not just for this round, but also to set the right precendent for future rounds. Beyond the commercials, Andrea and team went the extra mile for us and were both very helpful and responsive.”
“Andrea and her team have been nothing short of spectacular. Always a quick turnaround on requests, and commercially friendly. Strong professional advice from experienced lawyers on all matters. Highly recommended!”
“Andrea and her team were a huge help with our fundraising docs, first SaaS agreement, and a founder separation. What stood out most was how well she tailored her advice to our situation. Her experience with similar companies meant she knew exactly what we needed and what the long-term impact of different clauses or decisions might be.
Her team was knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and fast with revisions when it mattered. Highly recommend them!”
