It has a strong track record also covering work in these practice areas: conveyancing, divorce, child custody, division of matrimonial assets, maintenance, separation, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, inheritance law, mental capacity act deputyship, adoption, and insurance. The firm has 11 full-time family law specialists led by the head of general litigation and family law, Chong Boon Lim.

Chong Boon Lim
“Highly experienced and knowledgeable on the topic and local laws. Gets to the matter and provides solid advice and direction.”
“He knows how to demonstrate both expertise and empathy. He is quite understanding and knows the right way to move forward. What I particularly like is that he is not pushy with his views but was careful to listen to my views and what I wanted and then tried to use his knowledge to achieve my goals. Sometimes, what I wanted could not be in accordance with the law and he would tell me that. In other words, he was very candid about the strengths and weaknesses of my case and did not use all-out litigation to earn fees.”
“He is focused, professional, straight to the point, honest, and empathetic, with a wealth of knowledge.”
