In construction, the firm successfully defended Tuck Sin Engineering & Construction, the primary contractor, against a dispute initiated by KL Eco City, the developer. This contentious matter stemmed from a highly publicised incident involving a bridge collapse. The developer's lawsuit encompassed multiple claims, including alleged losses resulting from the collapse, damages attributed to delays in project completion, and wrongful termination by the firm’s client. Given the intricate nature of the case, which revolved around complex bridge design and workmanship issues, the expertise of bridge specialists from the UK and Hong Kong was enlisted to provide their professional opinions on the engineering aspects at the heart of the dispute.
The rest of the clients the firm has advised are confidential.
