Rajah & Tann Singapore recently contributed a Practice Note titled “Real Estate Considerations in Corporate Transactions (Singapore)” to the Global Practice Areas section of Practical Law Global (Thomson Reuters).
Large corporate transactions typically require review and input from different legal specialities, including real estate. The scope of real estate counsel’s role in the transaction depends on the materiality of the real estate assets to the corporate transaction, regardless of whether it is an asset purchase, a share purchase or a merger.
Authored by Partner Benjamin ST Tay, Deputy Head of the Corporate Real Estate Practice, Senior Partner Norman Ho, and Senior Associate Calvin Lim, the Practice Note provides an overview of matters that a buyer’s real estate counsel must take note of when handling a corporate transaction that involves owned or leased Singapore real estate. It discusses the following key areas of a corporate transaction:
- Property due diligence and risk assessment;
- Negotiation of real estate provisions in the transaction documents; and
- Real estate closing conditions and deliverables.
