He was subsequently called to the English Bar in 2013 after obtaining a grade of Very Competent in his Bar Professional Training Course, and was subsequently admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in 2014.
JJ’s practice focuses on dispute resolution, intellectual property, and corporate matters. Over the years, he has built a strong litigation and advisory practice, with extensive advocacy experience before the Labour Court, Industrial Court, High Court of Malaya, Court of Appeal and Federal Court.
He is recognised for his strategic and commercially minded approach to disputes. His practice is not limited to resolving legal issues after they arise, but also extends to helping clients understand risks, protect business value and make sound commercial decisions.
A key strength of JJ’s practice lies in his ability to connect litigation strategy with commercial reality. He understands that for business owners and companies, a legal dispute is rarely just a legal problem. It may affect reputation, cash flow, market position, business continuity and long-term enterprise value. This allows him to approach disputes with a practical mindset, balancing legal strength with business outcome. He is known for his clear, practical and commercially grounded style, with the ability to explain complex legal issues in a way that is accessible and useful to clients.
Beyond his professional work, JJ has a strong interest in strategy and problem-solving board games. This interest reflects the way he approaches law and business, with logic, structure, foresight and creativity. To him, good legal strategy is similar to a well-played strategy game: every move must be considered, every risk must be anticipated, and every decision must be made with the final objective in mind. Whether in litigation, advisory work or intellectual property strategy, he enjoys analysing different moving parts, anticipating challenges and crafting practical solutions for clients.
