Since then, Liat Yeang has been advising in all aspects of corporate real estate work including sales and purchase, project development work for developers and real estate financing. He acts for many real estate developers and real estate investment companies in numerous real estate transactions, whether they are by sale of land or by sale of shares in the real estate holding company. For two decades, Liat Yeang has handled numerous collective sales projects, acting for the vendors in the collective sale (including attendance at the hearings of the applications to Strata Titles Boards for their approval of the sale).

The latter is one of a number of acquisitions of leasehold residential developments handled by Liat Yeang in recent years where issues of lease top up arise for advice.
