Our story
Over four decades, the practice has grown into a multi-partner firm with offices in both Penang and Kuala Lumpur, the latter established in 2012 to serve the firm's expanding commercial client base. Today, the firm's five partners bring specialist expertise across corporate and commercial disputes, insolvency, banking, employment, property, and family law — supported by a team that holds itself to the same exacting standard the firm set at its founding.
The principal office commenced practice in 1983 wherein its scope of work included banking, criminal law and civil litigation. In or about 1996, the firm concentrated purely on its dispute resolution practice primarily engaging in Civil Law. The firm utilised its expertise and experience to establish a branch office in Kuala Lumpur on 1st July, 2012.
Who we are and our most important values
We do not take on a matter until we understand it thoroughly. When you first consult us, we ask you to walk us through a detailed chronology of events — every relevant document, every key date. This is not procedure for its own sake. It is how we ensure that nothing is missed from the outset.
At a second appointment, we work through that chronology with you to identify the precise legal issues at the heart of your matter. This disciplined approach means our advice is specific to your situation, our pleadings are filed right the first time, and you are not billed for amendments that should never have been necessary.
The result is a more efficient, more accurate, and more personal service. Clients who have worked with us before tell us this process — thorough at the start, clean in execution — is what sets us apart.
Why choose us
For over four decades, this firm has stood for one thing: doing right by our clients. We do not take shortcuts in understanding your matter, and we do not cut corners in advancing it. That is the standard we set in 1983, and it remains the standard today.
