Bryan W.H. Chee

Bryan W.H. Chee is a director at Torkildson Katz, A Law Corporation in Honolulu, HI, with a practice focused on real estate transactions, corporate law, and business finance. Chee advises clients on acquisitions, property development, leasing, and business structures. The practice involves identifying legal requirements, reviewing important facts, and addressing the practical issues that arise as a matter develops. Whether the assignment calls for advice or formal proceedings, the work centers on the relevant rights, obligations, documents, and decisions.

Chee completed a J.D. from the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law in 2016, an M.B.A. from the University of Hawaii Shidler College of Business in 2016, and a B.A. in History from the University of Washington in 2010. This background supports the careful legal analysis needed in matters involving real estate transactions, corporate law, and business finance. Academic training provides a basis for interpreting legal requirements and working through issues in a structured way.

Chee has experience involving affordable housing projects, condominium development, commercial financing, and corporate transactions. Such assignments require careful attention to the details of the record and the legal framework governing the work. Depending on the circumstances, the attorney may need to evaluate documentation, prepare agreements or arguments, confer with other participants, or address procedural deadlines. Experience with these matters helps connect the immediate legal questions to the broader circumstances in which they arise.

Bryan W.H. Chee is also associated with his former externships for federal and Hawaii Supreme Court judges and service in real property legal organizations. Chee brings that experience to the analysis of legal issues and the preparation needed to address them. The practice places importance on understanding a client’s situation rather than treating similar-looking matters as identical. Careful assessment of facts, legal requirements, and options helps define a clear path through a transaction, claim, or dispute.
