N Sreenivasan, managing director of Straits Law, said: “The pool of talent we’ve incorporated from this alliance is set to position Straits Law as a formidable force in insurance litigation. With over 36 years of litigation experience, I’m confident of our future prospects with M Ramasamy heading our Insurance practice,”
