Competition/antitrust (asialaw)
Work highlights

Acting as counsel to Liberty General Insurance — formed through the merger of AmGeneral Insurance and Liberty Insurance — in proceedings arising from the Malaysia Competition Commission's September 2020 infringement decision against Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia and 22 of its member insurers, imposing aggregate financial penalties exceeding RM 130 million for an alleged prohibited horizontal agreement under Section 4 of the Competition Act 2010, in relation to the application of trade discounts on parts prices and hourly labour rates under the PIAM Approved Repairers Scheme. The case carries broader significance as it highlights a jurisdictional tension between two regulators — Bank Negara Malaysia, which had itself facilitated the arrangement to resolve disputes between insurers and workshops, and MyCC, which characterised the same arrangement as an anticompetitive infringement.

Acting as counsel to the Sime Darby group of companies in long-running proceedings before the Kuala Lumpur High Court against several former key officers of the group, including its former Chief Executive Officer, in connection with alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and duties of care arising from three overseas projects — the Qatar Petroleum Project, the Maersk Oil Qatar Project, and Project Marine. The case remains one of the first of its kind in Malaysia to reach the assessment of damages stage following a consent judgment on liability against senior corporate officers of a major public listed company.
Intellectual property (asialaw)
Work highlights

Acting as counsel to Wise Payments — the global fintech company formerly known as TransferWise — in a landmark trademark dispute currently pending before the Federal Court of Malaysia, in the matter of Public Bank Berhad v Wise Payments. The case concerns the non-use revocation of Public Bank's "WISE" device trademark under the Trademarks Act 2019, which Wise initiated as part of its trademark prosecution strategy following its rebranding in 2021. The case is expected to serve as a landmark precedent as the first Federal Court decision interpreting the Trademarks Act 2019, with significant implications for the standing threshold in non-use revocation actions and for how foreign businesses assert IP rights through local subsidiaries in regulated sectors.
