OUR FIRM

CJ Liew & Co is a full-service law firm with a distinct focus on providing solutions in the area of technology law, corporate and compliance law, and cross-border transactions. In addition, CJ Liew & Co provides conciliation services in the form of mediation and negotiation.

OUR CORE VALUES

These five pillars of our Core Values serve an important function to guide and inform how we practice and what we stand for.

Our values, illustrated in our logo, form the foundation of our identity as a firm, and serve as a template for the specific goals by which we measure our performance. They also help our clients understand who we are.

Our metrics for growth are not determined by size or volume, but by the impact and quality of our contributions. Our Core Values underscore our commitment to growing a practice that adds value to our clients and to the community at large.

The firm’s philosophy and mission rests upon the five pillars of our core values represented in the CJ Liew & Co logo.

The five-pillared structure which looks similar to a simple line drawing of a courthouse symbolises our respect for the pursuit of justice within a court system. It is placed within a perfect circle which represents a mediator’s round table where we believe most conflicts ought to be resolved wherever possible. A front-facing perspective of the logo alludes to a shelf of books, to illustrate our conviction in continuous scholarship and training.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

At CJ Liew & Co, we believe strongly in giving back to the community.

At CJ Liew & Co, we believe strongly in giving back to the community.

Our community development initiatives are delivered independently and also in collaboration with other organizations as appropriate. They include teaching and awareness trainings, advocacy for specific causes, and the provision of legal or mediation services on a pro-bono or low-bono basis from time to time.

MEDIATION CONSULTING & SERVICES

One of our evolving practices is to collaborate with the Asia Mediation Centre (AMC) – in providing bespoke solutions to organisations looking to set up an internal conflict management process within their organisation.

The solution may include consultations and the appropriate skills training in order to equip selected departments within the organisation to manage challenging events which involve potential conflict between management and employees or management and external stakeholders.

Organisations may also approach us to enquire about mediation or negotiation services in the stage before a merger or acquisition, or in the post-merger period. These services help to facilitate mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties involved and seek to prevent issues related to potential conflicts.

GLOBAL REACH

As a small firm, we aim to cultivate a culture of agility and resilience which are essential qualities to help us flex with our clients’ needs.

The commercial world in which our clients operate is a constantly evolving landscape marked by changes in legal and compliance regulations and growing technological innovation. We believe our clients are best served when their counsel is proficient in change-management and adept in finessing the balance between preventive and facilitative law.

To stay relevant and ahead of the curve on emerging legal products, regulations and trends, we have been fortunate to have a seat at the table in international forums where new developments take shape. Ms. Josephine Hadikusumo sits on the board of the Singapore International Mediation Institute and has been a Working Group member tasked with the development of the rules and infrastructure related to mediation in Singapore. She has also attended as a delegate to the United Nations Convention of International Trade Working Group II on dispute settlement both in Vienna and New York. The outcome of these negotiations led to the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (“the Singapore Convention”) signed on 7 August 2019. As a speaker and trainer, she has worked in collaboration with many experts to develop effective dispute resolution mechanisms in multiple jurisdictions in Asia, Europe and the Pacific Islands.

We aim to grow and sustain a culture of innovation in our firm so that we can continue to develop new ways to add value to our client in step with the changes in the commercial world.
