Kathleen Ng
Special Counsel, Sydney
I have acted for many major clients in acquisitions and disposals of commercial, industrial, aged care, senior living and residential properties. I have also held the lead property role in many of Australia’s largest merger and acquisition transactions.

Using my specialised experience, I regularly advise major financiers on property-related aspects of complex development projects and financing transactions, especially in relation to aged care and off the plan residential developments.

I take pride in my client- and solution-focused advice, and am dedicated to providing the best and most efficient services.
