CK Lau is now head of JLL’s Valuation and Advisory Services division for Asia and Greater China
JLL announced personnel changes to its Greater China valuation business on the first day of 2018, in a bid to better serve the needs of clients and the firm, the property consultancy said in a press release. The change comes as the firm consolidates its valuation advisory departments for the Greater China region.
CK Lau, who has already taken the role of International Director, the firm’s most senior leadership level, became the Head of JLL’s Valuation Advisory Services (VAS) in Asia and Greater China. Formerly the head of VAS in Hong Kong, Lau’s new job is an expanded role for Lau to also take overall responsibility for JLL’s valuation advisory services business in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Asian cities.
Lau first joined the valuations department at Jones Lang Wootton, the predecessor of JLL, in 1986 and worked in the firm’s investment department before departing the company for a brief time in 1997. He rejoined Jones Lang Wootton in 1998.

In addition to the expanded role for CK Lau, JLL’s former Head of Corporate Appraisal and Advisory (CAA) services for Greater China, Sylvia Lau, took up the position of Head of VAS for China.
