Litigation lawyer at One Legal Limited, preparing cases across civil, criminal, and family courts.

Malaysia

Message

At One Legal Limited, I supported counsel in civil, criminal, and family litigation across court levels up to the Court of Appeal. I drafted pleadings, applications, and trial materials for insolvency, property, commercial, and family disputes.

At Messrs Ee Yen Chin & Co, I conducted Magistrate Court trials as lead counsel and assisted lead counsel in High Court trials. I also attended case management and hearings up to the Federal Court.

Across my litigation work, I handled legal research, drafted and vetted legal documents, and advised clients on risks, compliance requirements, and dispute prevention. I also translated evidence and instructions for Mandarin-speaking clients at One Legal Limited.

My experience also includes conveyancing documentation and procedures, from freelance work and my paralegal role at Messrs Manjit Singh Sachdev, Mohammad Radzi & Partners. I hold a Certificate of Legal Practice and Bachelor of Laws degrees.
