There has been considerable growth in Malaysia's corporate legal consulting market over the last decade. The country has witnessed the emergence of various businesses that have gained recognition worldwide and require expert solicitation and legal services. However, they often face problems while finding the perfect legal consultancy that suits their needs because of the lack of expertise in all required areas and lack of knowledge and understanding from the end of the provider. LEE GAN TEO & WONG is just the consultancy that the market needs, as it has specialized departments for different kinds of legal consultancy.
LEE GAN TEO & WONG was founded by Matthew Lee Ming Loong and his partners on February 2015. The objective and vision of the firm is to provide a greater extent in delivering various legal services to meet the public’s need. It is formed by Matthew and his learned partners - Lex Teo, Carmen Wong, and D. Leong, together with a group of solution-driven lawyers and consultants who enjoy working with people and business driven by innovative ideas.
It is diversified into classes of practices, each led by experienced and prominent partners and lawyers: individual and corporate conveyancing, banking and general litigation, banking finance, marital dispute, wills & probates, intellectual property, debt recovery, marine consultancy, corporate, and cross border business due diligence. The lawyers are dedicated to providing solution-oriented legal services to the clients, helping them manage risk and leverage valuable assets.
Operational Excellence
It has always been the practice and the policy of LEE GAN TEO & WONG to provide focused, efficient, prompt and exclusive services to the public, inclusive but not limited to the areas of all conveyancing practice.
“LEE GAN TEO & WONG also offers a full range of legal advice, services, counselling, and more, to a diversified client base. In addition, to provide professional and responsive services to the community at large has always been our policy and main priority of LEE GAN TEO & WONG”, mentions Matthew Lee, Founder.
The company develops and showcases expertise in specific areas of corporate law that can help the firm stand out. For instance, the firm has legal experts specializing in areas such as mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, technology law, or finance. It always believes that investing in continuous professional development and staying up-to-date with industry trends will demonstrate the firm’s knowledge and competence.
Building and maintaining strong networks within industries and business communities is also another approach that it believes is valuable for business. Most of its lawyers are active in Non- Profit organizations and industry associations and engage in thought leadership activities that can help the company establish credibility and visibility among potential clients.
“Collaboration with foreign law firms is our further effort to develop relationships with international clients, and we have expertise in handling cross-border legal matters. We believe it will position our firm as a trusted advisor for multinational corporations. On top of that, we invest in case management systems, document automation, and other legal research tools which comply with local regulations. This will increase the firm's productivity and position our firm as forward-thinking and able to provide more efficient services to our clients”, states Matthew.
LEE GAN TEO & WONG practice high standard of services, professionalism, performance, behaviour and conduct at all times and we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial and long-term relationship ahead with valuable Customers and Business Partners. “We designed our performance to ensure high levels of standard are achieved and maintained. We maintain the skills and knowledge and at all times we assure our Customers and Business Partners that we shall perform our jobs well and maximise our potential, skills and capabilities”, he adds.
The Road Ahead
The company wants to embrace technology and innovation. The legal industry is undergoing significant digital transformation. Adopting the latest legal tech tools and exploring emerging technologies can give the firm a competitive advantage. “The rule of thumb of an excellent legal firm is to understand its clients’ needs, expectations, and pain points. Therefore, we strive to provide our clients with personalized and tailored solutions to resolve their problems”, concludes Matthew.
