About

Kevin Lim is Chief Legal & Compliance Officer for KUN Global (Singapore). In his life before Fintech, he was a lawyer and litigator of more than 15 years standing. Since leaving private practice, Kevin has been engaged in Start-Ups with a particular focus on Fintech technologies (e.g. Cryptocurrenices, E-Money, Payment Instruments), leveraging on his legal experience to help navigate the uncertain regulatory space.Kevin brings to the world of Fintech 15 years experience in law, compliance and regulation, having served as the Head of Legal & Compliance for Ripple (APAC), Sygnum Bank and Zebpay. He has worked in some of Singapore's most renowned law firms, with a particular focus on litigating shareholder disputes. He has also served a four year stint under the Attorney-General as a State Counsel, where he provided advice to various Regulators and Government ministries. He was subsequently invited by the Government to assist with the fallout following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, by adjudicating disputes for the Financial Industry Disputes Resolution Centre ("FIDReC"), specifically those involving complex financial instruments marketed to retail investors. As a consequence of his unique legal career, Kevin has a deep understanding of not just the law (in particular payments and securities law, corporate law, IP law and white collar crime) but also how the law intersects with the world of finance, and the forces that guide and influence governments and regulators.
