What We Do
In the corporate arena, there are frequently disputes arising from business maneuvers and decision making, which in turn leads to acrimony between shareholders inter se or with the directors of the company.
Our lawyers act for litigants in all capacities, ranging from minority shareholders to the board of public listed companies. We regularly advise on various complex contentious corporate matters surrounding shareholder disputes and boardroom tussles. Our experienced team frequently act in claims involving breaches of fiduciary duties by directors and in oppression/ derivative suits.
Corporate Litigation
In the commercial and business setting, contractual disputes are bound to occur. These disputes commonly involve claims involving property, investments and/or the quality of services rendered. More often than not, complex commercial dispute also overlap with other tortious claims such as conspiracy, fraud and interference with business.
On this front, our team is accustomed to developing customized litigation strategies which are designed to minimize risk whilst achieving the business objectives of the client. Our legal ethos is to manage the multifaceted and substantial disputes with a view of resolving the legal disputes within the parameters of the commercial requirements of our clients.
Commercial & Civil Litigation
Weathering financial challenges in a business can be exhausting and at times seemingly hopeless. Such financial difficulties may require contemplation of debt restructuring and may also involve the likely insolvency of the business.
Our lawyers regularly handle these disputes from both sides of the divide. Our team acts for distressed companies in formulating and implementing schemes of arrangement, and also for liquidators and receivers and managers in the recovery of assets. Armed with years of experience in this field, we are positioned to identify the commercial pitfalls and provide the requisite legal and strategic support to help clients navigate through the dire consequences of financial distress.
Insolvency & Restructuring
Insurance is a tricky subject. It is never needed until it is. And when it is needed, disputes commonly arise over the interpretation of its terms or the extent of its coverage. At times, Insurers are required to step into the shoes of the Insured to defend the substantive claim.
Our lawyers have extensive experience in this industry having acted for Insurers in a variety of insurance claims ranging from property damage/ theft, to professional indemnity and directors/officers liability policies. Our team has also been involved in a variety of professional negligence disputes across different disciplines, from lawyers and doctors, to accountants/auditors. We also have a unique insight to the insurance industry having previously acted for its regulator, Bank Negara Malaysia, in some of these disputes.
Insurance & Indemnity
Many businesses and individuals have moved away from the traditional court setting, opting to resolve their disputes through an arbitration process where specialized experts will preside over their claims. This arbitration process can be challenging to the ordinary laymen who may not even know the existence of the arbitration clause until it is exercised.
Our team is well versed in this arena, having acted in numerous international and domestic arbitrations in commercial and contractual disputes, under the auspices of the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC), Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
Arbitration
Employment disputes are usually stressful as it involves an individual's livelihood. It is unfortunate that wrongful dismissals and retrenchment are commonplace in the commercial world.
Our team has acted for both employer and employee, and is experienced in advising on numerous aspects of employment related disputes, and handling claims on wrongful termination and constructive dismissal. We recently acted for over 800 employees in a landmark class action (affirmed by the Court of Appeal) where we successfully secured payment of part of their wages in priority to the rights and claims of the secured debenture holders (whose indebtedness by the company exceeded RM1.1 billion).
