Senior Partner & Head of Dispute Resolution
Welcome to the inaugural issue of DISPUTES DECODED by HHQ, our new bi-monthly legal update by HHQ’s Dispute Resolution team.
I am new to Halim Hong & Quek, having joined in January 2026. While the HHQ family have been very welcoming, I have personally found HHQ to be a firm with a lot of ambition and drive to aim to be the best in every aspect of legal practice. It currently has more than 60 lawyers with offices in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang.
In so far as the Dispute Resolution team is concerned, my colleagues and I have been working together to implement measures and strategies to take it to the next level as we grow and streamline our practice areas to best serve our clients and market needs. DISPUTES DECODED is part of our effort to not only give more visibility to our Dispute Resolution team, but to share timely, practical and commercially relevant legal commentary with our clients and contacts.
HHQ’s Dispute Resolution team is a full-service practice with experience across a broad range of areas. Our specialist practice areas include civil and commercial litigation and arbitration; shipping; fraud, asset recovery and investigations; employment; construction; restructuring and insolvency; shareholder disputes; land acquisition; regulatory compliance and real estate disputes.
Our strength lies in our multidisciplinary expertise, commercial perspective, and ability to develop strategic and effective solutions to disputes and issues faced by businesses. DISPUTES DECODED BY HHQ reflects that same philosophy. In an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape, we seek to provide clear and practical analysis that translates legal developments into commercial insight. Each issue will feature concise, client-friendly articles on recent cases, legislative and regulatory developments, market trends, and practical dispute-related topics.
We hope this regular legal update will become a useful resource for our clients and friends of the firm, and I wish you an enjoyable read.
