Shook Lin & Bok
From its humble origins as a sole-proprietorship established in 1918, Shook Lin & Bok has grown into one of the largest law firms in Malaysia. It is also the oldest law firm of local origin in the country.
The practice began with a limited number of practice areas. As Malaysia evolved from being a British colony into the modern country it is today, the firm grew in tandem to meet the challenges of globalization, building on its strong, trusted relationships with all its clients. The firm’s practice has evolved into a leading full-service firm offering a comprehensive range of legal services, spanning the globe.
The firm has distinguished itself in its commitment to high standards of professionalism and integrity for almost 100 years. It has built on that heritage and continues to invest in the development of its human resources, for the benefit of its clients. Always solution-focused, the firm prides itself not just in highlighting pitfalls in transactions but also in providing alternatives.
The latest in online legal research facilities enhances and complements one of the most comprehensive traditional library facilities in the country, enabling the firm to deliver on its mission of service with effectiveness and efficiency.
The firm has seventeen departments representing major practice areas which combine in a complementary and multidisciplinary practice to serve the needs of clients.
