Download CV
Admitted to the Malaysian Bar in 2003, Phaik Leng embarked on her legal career by being involved in commercial litigation from day one. Over the years, she has amassed a wealth of experience and gained comprehensive expertise in representing both individuals and organisations in a wide array of commercial disputes. Her proficiency spans various fields of law, including corporate, banking, trust and equity, administrative, and tort. She has since developed a deep passion for corporate litigation, with a particular focus on the intricacies of director duty and shareholder rights.
Phaik Leng is also an accomplished cross-examiner with a talent for drawing out crucial information and exposing inconsistencies in opposing arguments. Her ability to simplify complex legal matters into clear and concise arguments demonstrates her exceptional advocacy skills.
While she enjoys conducting trials, her passion is in legal research. She believes that no legal proposition exists in vacuum and research into its history would lead to proper appreciation and application of that legal proposition.
