About

Sandy Yung, group general counsel of Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), has spent two decades of his distinguished legal career with Hong Kong headquartered real estate giant Sun Hung Kai Properties. His rise within the group has been meteoric. He was made an executive director in 2009, placing him among the most important individuals at the company. In addition to his legal responsibilities, Yung takes care of company secretarial duties and has a large role to play in business strategy, risk management and compliance efforts, highlighting his broad skillset. This, and the vast technical and organisational legal knowledge that he has amassed through 20 years at one of the world’s premier real estate companies, means Yung must be counted as among the top corporate counsel in Hong Kong. He is also distinguished by his triple legal qualification: after qualifying in Hong Kong in 1987, Yung was admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales in 1991, and as an advocate and solicitor in Singapore in 1995.
