General business law (asialaw)
Work highlights

Advising confidential clients on alternative private equity strategies to refinance the operation of a resort in Macau, in a transaction valued at approximately $50 million. The matter involves navigating significant structural complexity arising from Macau's land law, land concession agreements, and the jurisdiction's alternative real estate investment frameworks, requiring creative legal structuring to develop a viable refinancing solution within those constraints. The transaction reflects the unique challenges of private equity and real estate financing in Macau's highly regulated property environment.
