Legal Strategy is many things.

For a start, it is to protect the client before an injury falls.

It also concerns the deployment of the law to enable the client to stay ahead of its competitors and to maintain the lead.

It is to look far ahead into the uncertain mists of the future.

A successful business venture, if not carefully lashed together by legal compliance,
is liable to flounder in the gales of regulatory strictures: all the energy and resources
poured into it are lost.

A legal strategist builds a safe vessel, charts the course, watches over the client’s interests throughout the voyage, deals with eventualities, and brings him to port.

That they do not teach at law school: but every member of our team wields that
elusive art.

When a company gets into financial difficulties it affects its creditors, business ventures, partners, licences, and the people in control of the company and its assets –before and after insolvency.  Our team has a strong track record and has assisted companies to get out of tight sports, fought-off financial challenges, continued to employ and put food on the table for employees, re-structured debts: in all,  worked out a solution acceptable to all.  That requires not only a thorough understanding of insolvency laws, but practical knowledge of how the financial community works.  We understand what the creditors will be willing to accept and what not.  In this way, we have helped moribund companies obtain a new lease of life.

As far as personal insolvency (‘bankruptcy’) is concerned, we have had a very strong track record. One of our colleagues is the author of a 1400-page legal practitioner’s book entitled ‘Bankruptcy Law in Malaysia & Singapore.’ It has been hailed favourably in written judgements of courts and has been the primary reference material.  We have assisted our clients withstand the onslaughts of creditors: and helped them get back on their feet.  We have many war stories to tell you.

A Public-Private Partnership (PPP, 3P or P3) is a private business venture.

It is funded and operated by a partnership between government and private sector companies.
In the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) model, private companies which take on a government project, bear the burden of investment. The government may
undertake all or part of its own obligations under a ‘partnership in kind’, e.g. by the contributing land. In infrastructure projects, for example, the government may grant a capital subsidy.

Working on PPP and PFI projects requires a thorough understanding of your
business. It requires the right combination of legal skills with contractual
documentation, risk ascertainment and allocation, finance procurement, tax
analysis, and tax structuring.

Our team is well placed to do this.
