THE FIRM
The origins of the firm can traced back to 1984 as a boutique commercial litigation practice founded by George Lo, the first Secretary General of the United People's Party (now merged with the Progressive Democratic Party, a member of the state ruling coalition) in East Malaysia. Built to break traditions and challenge the status quo, we operate at the cutting edge of legal innovation to deliver results that others cannot.
We are a different law firm with a global presence. We operate through separate independent offices across Asia with key practices located in Western Australia and East Malaysia. Our approach combines fearless advocacy, technological ingenuity and an unwavering focus on execution.
