Chia Hui Ming
Founding Partner
Hui Ming’s core practice areas are construction law, civil litigation, corporate & commercial and estate matters.
She has extensive experience representing clients on disputes at all levels – civil courts, arbitration and adjudication proceedings.
In the sphere of construction law, apart from contentious claims, she prepares and negotiates for construction contracts as well as rendering legal advice on project management issues.
Her practice allowed her to act in projects relating to public infrastructure, energy, commercial and residential. She also works closely with key stakeholders in the construction industry, including architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, claims consultants and contractors. Cumulatively, she is able to provide effective solutions to complex construction issues.
She is equally capable in navigating commercial & boardroom matters, conveyancing, debt recovery claims, contracts, wills & estate and family law.
Hui Ming is also an Accredited Mediator with the Malaysian Mediation Centre. This added dimension has allowed her to adopt a practical and ‘common sense’ approach in facilitating many clients to prevent avoidable legal predicaments.
She has represented clients ranging from multinational corporations, public-listed companies, trust fund, high-net-worth individuals, consultants, small & medium enterprises, startups and ordinary individuals.
