The latest edition of Chambers Asia-Pacific has ranked Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill in 9 practice areas, with nearly half of its partners recognised among the leading individuals in Malaysia, five of whom are making their debut.
LHAG is delighted that its Dispute Resolution and Employment & Industrial Relations departments have been ranked in Band 1.
With “its strong and diverse team of experienced partners, senior associates and associates to attend to clients’ needs”, the Dispute Resolution Department continues to be one of the only two law firms in the country ranked Band 1, and is recognised for “their top-class advocacy and client-oriented approach”. Lambert Rasa-Ratnam maintains his ranking as a Band 1 litigator, while Sean Yeow Huang-Meng, Andrew Chiew Ean Vooi, G Vijay Kumar and SM Shanmugam are the other ranked Dispute Resolution partners.
Along with being a Band 1 practitioner in Dispute Resolution: Construction, Dato’ Nitin Nadkarni is “vastly experienced on construction cases and incredibly intelligent”, and “offers potent advice”.
The Employment & Industrial Relations Department, known for its “value and commitment”, is led by Lim Heng Seng, who is himself ranked as a Band 1 practitioner. Shariffullah Majeed is noted as “Up and Coming”.
Real Estate and Tax, both ranked Band 2, also earned praise―the former for being “professional, quick to respond and customer-oriented”, and the latter for its “strong tax expertise, timely response and commercial pragmatism”. Tay Weng Hwee (Real Estate) is described as “a true professional who is well versed on cross-border M&A transactions and represents clients well at the negotiation table”, while Bella Chu Chai Yee (Real Estate) is again noted as “Up and Coming”.
Chambers observes the Tax team has “demonstrated that they are up to date with developments in the law”, while Dato’ Nitin Nadkarni made his debut in Band 2 and Jason Tan Jia Xin (Tax) has been recognised as “Up and Coming”.
Corporate and M&A, Intellectual Property, Projects, Infrastructure & Energy and Technology, Media & Telecommunications are also favourably ranked. Banking & Finance, in which Megat Hizaini Hassan is ranked, makes notable mention. LHAG is pleased to see Steven SY Tee make his debut (Band 2) in Projects, Infrastructure & Energy, whereas Eunice Chan Wei Lynn (Intellectual Property) is noted as “Up and Coming”.
The recognition would not have been possible were it not for LHAG’s staff, lawyers and clients, whom the firm wishes to thank for their invaluable support and trust.
