Real Estate

Focused legal guidance across transactions, strata governance, tenancy, escrow, and dispute resolution—through every stage of real estate ownership and operation.



From sales and leases to handover disputes and ongoing governance, real estate matters rarely exist in isolation. Escrow regimes, construction timelines, service charge rules, and tenancy frameworks often intersect—creating legal complexity that needs structured, proactive guidance.

Mandates

Our mandates typically include resolving strata and service charge disputes, managing tenancy claims, advising on escrow release, drafting and reviewing sales and lease agreements, and supporting with settlements and enforcement.

Key Risks to Watch

Real estate clients often face issues such as:

  • Defective notices that risk claim rejection
  • Undocumented snagging, which weakens enforcement
  • Misaligned timelines between construction and handover
  • Inadequate service charge documentation leading to governance disputes

Performance Insights

To keep your portfolio legally sound and operationally efficient, we track KPIs like: time-to-handover, arrears recovery ratio, settlement closure rate, and dispute cycle time.
