Far East Organization

About

Far East Organization is one of Asia’s largest real estate groups. Headquartered in Singapore, it has significant investments in Asia, Australia, Europe and the US. Comprised of five lawyers and one paralegal, the legal team of the Far East Organization is headed by director group legal and compliance, Sai-Choy Low, who has a formidable 28-year history working in-house. Whilst the team handles the expansion of the organisation’s portfolio, it remains instrumental in all the M&A investments, joint ventures, financings and other major transactions made by the organisation locally and overseas. Having worked on numerous acquisitions such as Pinners Hall in London, the Westin Hotel, Ausgrid Building and Clocktower in Sydney and the Moxy Hotel Joint Venture in Osaka (to name only a few), the team are integral contributors to the value of the company’s approximately S$22bn investment portfolio. The team provides legal advice on the structuring of investments, reviews the deal documentation, advises on risks and exposures and provides strategic solutions to secure deals. With specialist knowledge of the real estate industry and good business acumen, the team offers advice that is strategic, innovative, thorough and practical. The legal team is highly versatile and dynamic. While the legal team enjoys the thrills of the transactional deals, it also takes pride in contributing to the day-to-day business of the organisation. The business units often seek the legal team’s advice on operational issues including compliance, reviewing contracts with partners/suppliers/customers, dispute resolution, insurance, intellectual property protection, data protection and corporate support. The team looks to improve the business processes of the organisation by developing standard documents, checklists and templates for its investments, real estate development, sales and marketing and leasing activities locally and overseas. The legal team also recognises that human capital is the most valuable asset of a company. It takes the initiative of providing and arranging legal training for other business units on relevant areas of law and keeps it in the loop as to legal and regulatory developments. The vision of the legal team is unconfined. It engages with the wider community outside the organisation and is often called upon to participate in public policy consultations and is a member of the advisory board of the Asian Business Law Institute. It also involves itself in outreach activities by providing legal support to the organisation’s donations and benefactions to various charities and national institutions.
