It’s a common story: a professional – more often than not a lawyer, a doctor or a banker – leaves their job to pursue a passion in an unrelated industry like F&B or the arts. Sometimes the parts of one’s life converge and lead on to new things.
For anyone even slightly invested in Singapore’s nightlife scene, the name Tay Eu-Yen might ring a bell. While her earlier experiences include working as a disputes lawyer at Drew & Napier, the 41-year-old is perhaps better known for her past 15 years spent managing various concepts in the nightlife and hospitality business. This includes the legendary, now-defunct Butter Factory and, more recently, Coterie Concepts, which encompassed spots like the Cantonese tapas bar Sum Yi Tai.
Now, Tay has moved the cumulation of all her experiences to the latest chapter in her life as an of-counsel in the niche of the entertainment and hospitality businesses with Providence Law Asia. It encompasses everything from F&B and nightlife to coworking spaces and even streamers.
