Cynthia Li
Special Counsel, Sydney
I work on property finance transactions for the acquisition and construction of properties and portfolios of all sizes.

I have acted for many Australian and international banks and non-bank lenders and global corporations on large transactions and had the lead role in the financing of some iconic building acquisitions and developments.

Clients appreciate my dedication, timely advice and approachability. My other passion is for training and I enjoy my work training clients on property finance topics and what matters to them.
