Natalie Chan has become a prominent figure in cross‑border capital markets, having directed multiple Nasdaq listings for Asian issuers in the past year. The 34‑year‑old partner at Robertsons practices in corporate finance, capital markets, private equity and commercial matters, and is qualified as a solicitor in both Hong Kong and England and Wales.
Four Nasdaq Debuts in Months
According to the firm’s recent disclosures, Chan led Nasdaq offerings for a Hong Kong‑based event‑management service provider, a Singapore‑based engineering service firm, a Japan‑based lifestyle entertainment and hospitality company, and a Hong Kong‑based fitness and wellness operator. The final transaction raised roughly $6.1 million. The rapid succession of these listings shows her ability to manage the Nasdaq’s regulatory framework and guide companies through the complex cross‑border capital‑raising process.
Her experience also stretches to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where she has worked on offerings for a Singapore‑based food and beverage company that raised about HK$100 million, as well as for a Hong Kong construction services provider and a Singapore‑based automotive retail and services firm. She has assisted firms in moving from the Growth Enterprise Market to the Main Board, showing a wide range of transaction types.
Broader Track Record and Firm Contributions
Beyond the Nasdaq deals, Chan has overseen public listings in the United States, including a New York Stock Exchange debut for a Singapore‑based heavy‑construction equipment supplier and several Nasdaq introductions for companies in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The filing notes that her client base includes both emerging issuers and long‑standing Hong Kong‑listed corporations.
Within Robertsons, she was chosen as a founding member of the internal Business Development and Marketing Committee, reflecting a role that extends past pure legal work. Her involvement in firm‑wide strategy suggests she helps shape how the practice approaches market outreach and client acquisition.

Future demand for Asian firms to access U.S. capital markets could keep lawyers like Chan busy. If the trend of listing on Nasdaq continues, her experience may become a benchmark for other practitioners seeking to guide clients through similar regulatory hurdles.
The next wave of listings may test the firm’s capacity to handle simultaneous cross‑border transactions while maintaining compliance standards.
Chan’s dual qualification and seven years of legal experience position her well for the changing field of international finance. Her recent work demonstrates that the combination of technical expertise and practical execution can deliver tangible results for companies seeking to broaden their investor base.
She continues to mentor junior associates.
