We are pleased to have acted as lead counsel to the investor consortium led by Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited (HKIC) and Gobi Partners on CARSOME’s latest over USD 30 million strategic fundraising, a transaction that reflects continued investor conviction in Malaysia’s first tech unicorn and its regional platform across Southeast Asia.
Founded in 2015, Carsome has grown into a leading digital automotive marketplace operating across multiple markets, reshaping how cars are bought and sold across Southeast Asia.
This round goes beyond capital deployment. It reflects continued conviction in Carsome’s integrated ecosystem and its ability to scale its technology and data capabilities, while strengthening the connection between Southeast Asia and Greater China at a time when growth is increasingly selective and execution is under greater scrutiny.
The team at Robin Lynn & Lee, led by Corporate Partner Bin Hau Lee together with Associates Michelle Koh and Caroline Gan Yi Xin, is honoured to have supported the investor consortium on this milestone, working alongside everstead law llc as Singapore law counsel and Harneys as Cayman Islands counsel.
DFDL provides specialized legal counsel throughout the ASEAN region. Visit our Malaysia team profile for further information.
