About

Sai Choy Low is an experienced Cambridge-trained lawyer. Prior to joining Far East Organization, Low was vice president legal for Singapore Airlines from 2001 to 2006 and senior vice president legal and company secretary of CapitaLand from 2006 to 2013, both extremely prestigious positions that have furnished him with a formidable reputation as one of the most impressive individuals in the Southeast Asian in-house legal community. At the former, Low was involved in a highly eventful time for the company in the wake of the new operating conditions for airlines following the Global War on Terrorism, SARS and the introduction into service of the first A380 aircraft. At CapitaLand, Low was in charge of ‘galvanising a team of more than 150 legal and corporate secretariat professionals in CapitaLand’s offices worldwide’. Low is now installed in Singapore’s largest private developer, Far East Organization, where he has honed the legal team ‘to propel the company’s investments overseas’. Low highlights just some of the most prominent transactions he has been involved in in recent years. ‘Overseas major recent acquisitions and developments include Pinners Hall in London, Westin Hotel in Sydney and Moxy Hotel in Osaka’, he says. ‘In Singapore some of our major buys have included the Holland Road site, Chancery Court and Le Meridian Hotel Sentosa’. A major name among Singapore’s general counsels, Low has also been recognised through a bevy of plaudits and awards from industry pundits, including a number naming him the best-in-class in-house lawyer in his field.
