Xylia Sim

From Singapore, Xylia Sim brings over 15 years of experience advising on major project financings across Asia Pacific and is a key contact within Linklaters’ regional green energy practice. Demonstrating her vital role within a holistic sustainability client offering, she sits on the firm’s Asia ESG steering committee.

Her focus on the green transition of the energy and infrastructure sectors has made her a leading advisor to major regional export credit agencies and multilateral development banks as they transition their financing portfolios to clean technologies and support the growth of the region’s nascent renewables sector.

Sim is also a notable thought leader on emerging and diverse green focuses across the region, co-authoring insights into topics including the green and transition taxonomy for Singapore-based financial institutions, and the impact of Malaysia’s national energy transition and hydrogen economy roadmaps. Helping boost knowledge on the regulatory peculiarities of Singapore’s transition finance market among global clients, Sim was a key voice on the firm’s panel discussion on how financial markets can facilitate the transition to a sustainable economy.
