David Wang
Commercial Law
"I've never met a lawyer as commercially-minded as David."
When David received this feedback from a client, he couldn’t think of a better compliment. David works in Robinson Gill's business and property teams and prides himself on his commercial acumen.
He was brought up in a family of entrepreneurs and has a strong commercial awareness when it comes to reviewing and preparing business documents, negotiating transactions and advising on business matters.
He is a considered individual and has extensive experience in assisting clients with various commercial transactions, particularly in property and business acquisitions, intellectual property, cross-border transactions as well as joint ventures.
David is a member of the Commercial Law Advisory Committee and his simulated video during his exam was identified as the best assessment submission covering all relevant aspects of the law, and will be used as an example for new candidates into the future.
Significant commercial and property transaction experience
David has significant experience in conducting due diligence for investors, in the acquisition of business property matters. Recently, he advised an offshore publicly listed company on the acquisition of an Australian company operating a well-known education business.
He also has a wealth of experience advising clients from China. He recently helped a Chinese national company on tendering for a $40m engineering, procurement and construction contract.
From a property perspective, David is experienced in property transactions and commercial/retail leasing.
