LAU Ming Wai

Lau Ming Wai is a non-executive director and chairman of the board of Chinese Estates Holdings Limited. The group's 2025 annual report records that he was 45, had been a director since 2006 and has chaired the board since 2014 — leading an established Hong Kong Chinese property group from the head of the board while remaining non-executive. His training spans law and investment. The report notes that he holds a bachelor of laws from King's College London, a master of laws from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a doctorate in law from King's College London; before joining the group he worked in London at The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Longview Partners LP. He is also a registered attorney in the State of New York and a holder of the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, qualifications that represent two distinct kinds of professional training. The directors' biographies in the report also set out the family relationships plainly: he is identified as the stepson of one family member, the nephew of an executive director and the nephew of a non-executive director. That indicates several family members sit on the board, with him at its head as chairman. As the annual report presents it, his public record is relatively compact: a doctorate in law, experience in investment banking and asset management, and the chair of a family group's board. The report does not list directorships at other listed companies, nor does it describe a specific operating portfolio, so what can be verified is confined to his roles as chairman and non-executive director of Chinese Estates.
