About

Major property and infrastructure company S P Setia Group relies on a flexible and highly effective in-house legal team to safeguard the Group’s endeavours. As well as this, the legal function deals with issues relating to the Group’s ‘corporate reputation, public profile and interest from a law and branding perspective’, as one nominating source explains. Leading the charge from a legal perspective is general counsel Mui Hiang Tan, who comes extremely highly recommended by nominators. As well as her legal expertise, they praised her ‘advice on the development of strategic initiatives and decisions’ at the business, and spoke to her versatility and specialism in various roles. Currently, the team is working out the final touches of its acquisition of Malaysian property developer I&P Group, a move announced in June 2017 worth RM3.65b that will further add to S P Setia Group’s enviable business portfolio.
