The people who will run your matter
A lean team of construction-disputes specialists. The partner who scopes your matter is the one who conducts it.
Teoh Kok Sern
Teoh Kok Sern trained first as a civil engineer and spent four years on high-rise and infrastructure projects before reading law. That grounding shapes how he runs a construction dispute — he reads the drawings, the programme and the as-built records as closely as he reads the contract. He has appeared in the High Court and Court of Appeal on construction and arbitration matters, sits as an arbitrator and adjudicator, and led the firm’s early adjudication practice when CIPAA came into force in 2014.
R. Danaraj
Danaraj Ratnasingam built his practice around the payment provisions of CIPAA 2012. He has commenced and defended adjudications across the spectrum — main contractors against employers, subcontractors up the chain, and consultants chasing unpaid fees — and advises clients on getting the payment claim and the notice of adjudication right, because most adjudications are won or lost on the paperwork before the merits are ever reached. He also sits as an adjudicator on the AIAC panel.
Ng Hui Lin
Ng Hui Lin leads the firm’s delay and quantum work. She is at home in the detail of a programme analysis — windows, as-planned versus as-built, concurrent delay — and works alongside delay and quantum experts to build extension-of-time and loss-and-expense claims that survive cross-examination. She has acted in domestic and AIAC-administered arbitrations under the PAM, PWD and FIDIC forms.
Amir Hakimi bin Rosli
Amir Hakimi handles the court end of construction disputes — enforcing adjudication decisions under s.28, resisting or bringing setting-aside and stay applications under ss.15–16, and winding-up proceedings founded on adjudicated sums. He runs the firm’s adjudication registry, tracks every statutory deadline on the matters he touches, and is the person clients call when a payment claim has just landed and the clock has started.
Our four named partners and senior associate are supported by a further team of legal assistants and pupils — 12 lawyers in all — together with paralegals who manage our adjudication registry and the statutory diary on every live matter.
A payment claim just landed? The clock has already started.
