On 15 July 2026, our associate, Thevan Aruljothi, led a practical session at the ATC KL Campus to help aspiring mooters strengthen their legal writing and written advocacy skills.

The session brought together 27 participants, ranging from Foundation to third-year law students. Through a presentation followed by an interactive breakout session, participants got hands-on — drafting written submissions based on a moot problem and putting the concepts straight into practice.

We thank the ATC Moot Society for the opportunity to collaborate on this initiative, and all participants for their active participation and enthusiasm throughout.

The Written Submission Competition is now underway, with submissions due 15 August 2026. We look forward to seeing the quality of submissions in the weeks ahead.

Daniel & Wong is pleased to share that our Nicholas Yap, together with Ms Santhi Latha, was recently invited to speak on a panel discussing Optimising Legal Practice with Technology: What Future Lawyers Need to Know, organised by Advance Tertiary College (ATC) and the  Asian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) of ATC.

The session explored, amongst others, the transformative impact of technology and artificial intelligence on the legal profession, with a particular emphasis on how future lawyers can strategically leverage technology to enhance legal research and productivity.

We extend our appreciation to ATC for the invitation and to everyone who participated in this engaging and timely discussion.

Daniel & Wong is pleased to share that our Nicholas Yap and Thevan Aruljothi recently served as judges at the Taylor’s Intervarsity Mooting Competition (TIVC) 2026, organised by Taylor’s Mooting Society, which was held on 20.6.2026 – 21.6.2026.

The competition brings together passionate law students from universities across the country, providing them with a platform to sharpen their advocacy, legal reasoning, and courtroom skills in a highly competitive setting.

Daniel & Wong is pleased to have supported the Asian Law Students’ Association (Malaysia) in two of its competitions:

• ALSA Malaysia Mediation Competition (AMMC) 2026, held on 9.5.2026 – 10.5.2026; and
• ALSA International Moot Court Competition (National Selection Round) (AIMCC) 2026, held on 16.5.2026 – 17.5.2026.

These initiatives provide a platform for aspiring mooters to develop their advocacy, negotiation, and legal reasoning skills, and it was encouraging to observe the high standard of participation across both events.

Our Partner, Daniel Albert, also contributed as a guest judge for the semi-final rounds of the AIMCC.

We thank ALSA Malaysia for the opportunity to support these initiatives and commend the efforts behind their organisation, as well as the participation of all teams involved.

We’re pleased to share that our Nicholas Yap recently served as a Co-Arbitrator at the Malaysian Bar Sports Arbitration Moot Competition (MyBar SAMCO 2025), organised by the Bar Council Sports Law Practice Committee.

The competition brings together law students from universities across Malaysia to experience sports arbitration in a simulated setting, tackling disputes inspired by real-world sports cases and developing advocacy, reasoning, and teamwork skills.

We are glad to have contributed to an initiative that promotes practical learning and supports the development of future members of the legal profession. Kudos to the organising team at Malaysian Bar for a well-run and meaningful event.

We are proud to support the Women’s Equality Day Online Essay Contest, organised by the Organisation of Women Law Students from Advance Tertiary College, in collaboration with Women’s Aid Organisation.

This contest invites students to explore pressing issues, such as domestic violence, harassment, systemic inequalities, and the role of youth in driving positive change. At Daniel & Wong, we believe youth voices and dialogue are vital in shaping a safer, more equal future for women.

Fun fact: The trailblazing B.H. Oon (Lim Beng Hong) became Malaysia’s first female lawyer and played an instrumental role in amending the law that finally allowed women to practise at the Malayan Bar in 1935.
