Audrey is a co-founding Partner of the LLP, and Head of the Real Estate Practice Group.

 

Audrey started out in practice at one of the largest local law firms in Singapore, where she handled such diverse transactions as the transfer of undertaking of mortgages from a US regional bank to its national headquarters in New York, the sale of strata units in a warehouse complex and the drafting of Agreements to Lease for a new office cum shopping complex whilst under construction. 

 

Audrey’s current practice, whilst retaining a property focus, is also tailored to the very specific requirements of her diverse clientele. She has advised clients on transactions ranging from the acquisition of a coal mine to the purchase of a minority stake in a foreign bank, and the divestiture of a convention & exhibition centre and its business assets. Her practice is not confined to Singapore shores and is very much dictated by the business interests of her clients. She has advised, as well as acted as instructing counsel for commercial transactions undertaken in various jurisdictions such as Australia, China, Dubai, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Some of Audrey’s transactions of note include:-

  • Advising a listed Hong Kong developer in its successful S$1.38 billion joint venture bid for the landmark Orchard Turn site in Singapore.

  • Advising a private client in its proposed acquisition of a substantial commodity-based asset in Indonesia of a value surpassing $700 million.
