Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The corporate team led by Perry Yuen and Serene Yeo is technically strong and commercially astute. They consistently deliver practical and pragmatic solutions tailored to their clients’ needs. I have referred several overseas clients to their team for Singapore law advice, and the feedback has been uniformly positive, clients have expressed high regard for their professionalism, responsiveness, and the quality of their counsel.’
‘Perry Yuen and Serene Yeo are prompt, efficient, and highly effective problem-solvers. They take a practical approach to issues and consistently provide commercially sound solutions - a quality that clients deeply value. Perry, in particular, has a remarkable ability to distil complex legal issues into clear, accessible advice, enabling clients to make informed commercial decisions with confidence.’
‘Dayne Ho has been my go-to Singapore legal counsel for over 10 years, as I really value his experience and insurance sector knowledge.'
‘We have engaged Sally Lee from SLB to support us for several M&A transactions. We find her to be a trustworthy and reliable legal partner to work with. Her counsel has been valuable in matters of structuring and negotiations, and her approach to doing M&A is commercial. She has been helpful in unpacking complex issues and advancing tricky negotiations. She looks after SLB's junior team, supporting her on deals, and it shows in the retention and longevity of their team.’
‘Easy to work with and a knowledgeable and commercial team that is willing to go the extra mile to get client's needs fulfilled.’
‘Good knowledge, pragmatic approach.’
