By Specialists. With Specialists.
“Dynamic and commercially savvy lawyers.” – The Legal 500, Asia Pacific 2025
Our core practice areas include shareholder disputes, corporate fraud, asset recovery, insolvency proceedings, defamation, mergers and acquisitions and high-stakes advisory matters.
What sets us apart is our identity as a true specialist boutique firm—conflict-free and unencumbered by the structural limitations of a full-service model. This independence gives us the agility to act decisively against major conglomerates, multinational corporations, government-linked entities, and financial institutions. It also allows us the flexibility to collaborate seamlessly with specialists beyond our core disciplines.
This focused, nimble, and collaborative approach enables us to consistently craft sharper strategies and deliver legal solutions precisely tailored to each client’s unique needs.
