Dato’ Peter has a strong reputation in the global scene. He always finds himself engaged with both local and foreign clients that have legal issues overseas or in a foreign jurisdiction. He considers this as his special niche, as he always gets drawn to this type of situations. In a well-connected globalised world, a client can appoint a lawyer from that foreign jurisdiction, but Dato’ Peter’s clients would rather deal with a foreign lawyer through him – and that is due to Dato’ Peter’s reputation, as a person with a wide knowledge of international legal jurisdictions acquired over years of working with foreign lawyers.

Dato’, despite his reputation in the vast legal industry, he ensures that his clients would feel comfortable even in the most micro of sight. Dato’ naturally approaches every case by being aware of his clients’ circumstances on a personal level; accommodating, intimate, close-knit but still professional enough that can keep confidential information ultimately guarded. His clients trust him as the first point of contact of the information given, before being released to the foreign lawyers.

Dato’ strongly stands in his 3 personal attributes that he offers to his clients: his integrity, legal expertise and committing to absolute confidentiality.
