APAC Insider- APAC Legal Awards 2024 | 17 Aug24350 Founded in Singapore in early 2020, BH2I Pte Ltd is a corporate, real estate, and hospitality law firm that specialises in deploying experienced, top-tier attorneys with pedigrees at large law firms to clients across the Asia Pacific region. BH2I strives to provide legal advice that is both practical and sound, and whether a client is based in Singapore or further afield, it will handle the lifecycle of their project or transaction holistically. Overseeing all of this is Managing Partner Benjamin Hirasawa, and both he and his firm have been recognised for their outstanding nature in this field. Celebrated for its dual distinction in the fields of real estate and hospitality, BH2I leverages a core team whose combined two decades of experience and well-established track record for delivering success position the firm as the region’s premier legal provider in these settings. For example, when it comes to real estate, clients are afforded an encompassing range of transactional, regulatory, and litigation services that span every stage of a project, from initial development to crossborder dispute resolution if litigation is threatened. Be it concerning purchasing or selling, the wealth of additional components that span real estate transactions, such as leases and contracts, have the ability to disrupt transactions or pose as lasting repercussions that add unnecessary risk. With this breadth of experience on its side, as well its encompassing network and deep understanding of the property markets of the countries in which it operates, BH2I adds real value to clients, helping them to traverse this complex landscape regardless of where on the spectrum their assets or transactions lie. Of course, the second key area of focus for BH2I is hospitality, and once again, a comprehensive service is provided which includes everything from strategic planning and development to financing and product structuring. Headed up by BH2I’s Founder and Managing Partner, the multi-award-winning Benjamin Hirasawa, this division is able to use this visionary’s knowledge and experience to fully understand the niche that is hospitality law, before guiding clients expertly through it. Regardless of the particular sector that it is operating in, BH2I is passionate about making deals, not breaking them. It is for this reason that at the heart of BH2I’s distinction is its unique hybrid approach, which sees a traditional brick-and-mortar process interspersed with a virtual firm structure encompassing the industry’s leading secure practice management and AI legal software technology. The result, quite simply, is that this team are able to provide every client with stellar performance managed solutions. Across the board, the team here ensure that any such solutions are efficient, comprehensive, and scalable, as well as that they significantly reduce risk when it comes to matters that are delicate or particularly time sensitive. This approach also makes things much more streamlined when it comes to partnering with international clients, and since BH2I engages closely with esteemed hotel operators from the UK to Vietnam, doing things as smoothly as possible is vital when it comes to both retaining clients and ensuring favourable outcomes. Offering cross-border legal advisory services may make this real estate and hospitality law firm exceptional, but it also raises a number of difficulties. Most recently, these have primarily concerned AI, which, despite serving as an invaluable tool when it comes to enhancing efficiency, is limited given that AI sources cannot be called upon in an advice setting. This is why the team here strike the necessary balance, using this technology but also independently verifying results so as to make sure clients receive advice that is accurate and legally sound. Whilst upcoming projects are secret for obvious reasons, one thing that the firm is able to share with us is that it is beginning to roll out a number of client initiatives that are focused on increasing the efficiency of mergers and acquisitions. As Associate Supawich Jongdeepaisarn tells us, “we are expanding into new markets with innovative approaches that align with our clients’ evolving needs. The remainder of 2024 holds exciting opportunities as we continue to grow our presence and refine our services to better serve our clients globally.” An expert when it comes to everything from hotel Real Estate & Hospitality Law Firm of the Year 2024 - Singapore & Best Managing Partner of the Year 2024 (Singapore): Benjamin Hirasawa BH2I Pte Ltd management agreements to regulatory compliance advisory, BH2I Pte Ltd is a standout firm that is highly experienced when it comes to landmark transactions.
