Firm News

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.

Last Friday, we had the privilege of organising a blood donation drive in collaboration with the National Blood Centre and the Ministry of Health, and we’re thrilled to share that it was a tremendous success!

Thanks to the overwhelming support from our colleagues, clients, friends, and the wider community, we welcomed 92 volunteer donors, out of which 75 successful donations were made — surpassing the target of 50 set by the National Blood Centre.

Your generosity will go a long way in saving lives.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Gong Cha Malaysia, for keeping our donors refreshed and energised. Your support added an extra touch of warmth and hospitality.

As we welcome the New Year, Daniel & Wong is delighted to announce the promotion of our associates, Nicholas Yap (Dispute Resolution Department) and Chermaine Chen (Corporate & Commercial Department), to Senior Associates, effective January 2025.
