Lim Chee Wee Partnership has distinguished itself as a specialist disputes boutique with exceptional capabilities in commercial litigation, competition law, and white-collar crime, demonstrating profound expertise in managing complex cross-border legal challenges. The firm's strategic approach is driven by a leadership triumvirate of litigation experts: senior partner Chee Wee Lim, a veteran with over 30 years of practice and former Malaysian Bar President; managing partner Shih Lee, renowned for sophisticated dispute resolution strategies; and partner Will Sen Kwan, who leads the firm's competition law practice. Their collective expertise enables nuanced representation across international arbitration platforms, with each partner bringing distinctive strategic capabilities to high-stakes litigation matters. The firm's current representation of 1Malaysia Development and SRC International in multi-jurisdictional asset recovery proceedings exemplifies their sophisticated approach to complex commercial disputes, particularly in cases involving intricate financial misconduct and substantial cross-border legal challenges.
Client feedback
"What stands out most is their collaborative approach – when suitable, they harness the collective expertise of the entire firm rather than relying on a handful of individuals. Their organizational structure also appears to me to be quite fluid, without rigid hierarchies or siloed teams. This enables them to form optimal teams tailored specifically to each client's requirements. They also consistently appear to be involved in some of the highest-profile Malaysian disputes. This expertise extends beyond arbitration – I have recently begun assisting LCWP (Lim Chee Wee Partnership) with an appeal to the Malaysian Federal Court, and I am aware that LCWP is involved in many more such high-profile appeals." – Commercial arbitration
