Rise of REITs

With increased urbanisation and a booming real estate industry, the REITs industry has grown in importance across South-east Asia, with Singapore as an early mover in the region. REIT transactions have grown in number, and have also become ever more complex, often involving novel and nuanced issues in relation to property, trusts and finance law, as well as cross-border considerations.

Pioneer and market leader

Our Real Estate Investment Trusts Practice is widely recognised as a pioneer and market leader in the REITs and business trust space. Having handled the most notable transactions and listings in this market, our team has built a formidable track record of truly ground-breaking work.

We cover every aspect of capital market and financing arrangements in the REITs and business trust space, and our lawyers have acted and advised in almost all IPOs, introductions, listings, secondary offerings and medium term note/convertible bond issues by Singapore REITs and property business trusts. Our team also advises on subsequent M&A and funding activities and is able to draw expertise from our many specialists in diverse areas of law, including tax, intellectual property, trusts and equity, to address the numerous legal issues that may arise with structures and transactions involving REITs and other business trusts.
