Hi, I’m Rebecca Pang — your trusted BD advisor and founder of Bai.Acceleration.
At Bai.Acceleration, we provide discreet support across business development strategy, client activation, partner onboarding, and long-term personal positioning. Whether you're stepping into leadership, transitioning firms, or planning for what comes next, we help you move forward — quietly, strategically, and with lasting impact.
Over the years, I’ve worked closely with lawyers across Asia to help them grow with clarity, confidence, and strategy — often behind the scenes, always with results.
I’ve been in the room when BD felt like a checklist, not a plan. When lawyers were told to “follow up with clients” — but no one explained how. And when brilliant teams stayed invisible, not for lack of talent, but because their story wasn’t told right.
That’s why I started Bai.Acceleration — to turn good work into lasting growth, and to help great lawyers lead with voice and vision.
“Rebecca offers a wealth of experience and a truly mature perspective. Her advice is focused on practical solutions, highlighting what can be accomplished and the issues that need to be tackled. She is direct and incisive without ever being impolite, delivering guidance that is constructive, meaningful and actionable.”
— Craig Shepherd, Independent Arbitrator (Former Global Head of Construction and Infrastructure Disputes of Herbert Smith Freehills)
“Rebecca has the rare ability to combine business sense with candour. She identifies the real issues partners face and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said, always with the aim of helping them move forward.”
— Peter Godwin, Independent Arbitrator (Former Head of Asia Disputes of Herbert Smith Freehills)
“I’ve seen Rebecca’s work firsthand and was consistently impressed by her strategic mindset and attentive approach to business development. She understands how to align opportunities with a firm’s goals and builds strong, lasting relationships.”
— John Ling, Vice President (Legal) at DigitalBridge
About Rebecca
I began my legal career in international arbitration at a Silver Circle firm, representing sovereign funds, hospitality groups, and multinational corporations in high-value, cross-border disputes. My work spanned multiple jurisdictions and required navigating complex procedural, cultural, and commercial dynamics.
I transitioned into business development at a Magic Circle firm, before stepping into a regional BD leadership role at one of the largest global law firms in the world.
Over the course of my career, I have worked directly with three Heads of Asia for major practice groups, gaining first-hand management and business development insights, and developing the ability to work seamlessly with senior stakeholders across cultures and priorities. I have also built extensive, on-the-ground BD experience in most parts of Asia, in particular Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and China.
I am fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay, with working comprehension of Korean — enabling me to operate seamlessly across jurisdictions, and to build trust and influence across cultures.
