Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The firm punches above its weight when it comes to quality of work and attention to client's needs. From my more than 2 decades of capital markets experience, I can honestly say that the team's capabilities and competencies puts some bigger named firms to shame.’
‘Well thought out strategies and timely, practical advice sets them apart, besides putting the client's needs first. Vincent Chan and Datin Shelina are among the best lawyers I have worked with.’
‘Advice and information is provided to clients in the style of in-house counsel rather than external practitioners, meaning that it is targeted and useful. This is incredibly rare in the market, and very welcome.’
‘Datin Shelina Razaly Wahi is an exceptional lawyer. As a former GC, she understands what in-house counsel and businesses are looking for when they engage external counsel. Her advice is always pragmatic, practical and user-friendly.’
