The practice is proficient in complex transactions, including M&A deals, leases, collective sales, and development projects, adeptly representing sellers, purchasers, developers, REITs, and other public and private entities. Elsa Chai handles all aspects of property-related work dealing with a wide range of properties, from residential properties, commercial properties, industrial properties to hotels. She leads the team alongside Ching Chou, who is noted for her focus on divestment and acquisition of development sites, commercial and investment properties, and industrial buildings. The ‘excellent’ Benjamin Tay is lauded for his ability to ’anticipate and highlight potential issues for the client’s consideration’, while Norman Ho regularly advises on a wide spectrum of property-related transactions.
