About
Built on Experience, Shaped by Perspective
Messrs. Chris Lim Su Heng is a Malaysian law firm advising businesses, organisations and individuals across corporate, commercial, contentious and private legal matters.
Formally established on 5 May 2000, the Firm combines an established local practice with the international, corporate and litigation experience of its sole proprietor, Mr. Chris Lim Su Heng.
Executive Overview
Practical, Results-Oriented Legal Advice
The Firm provides practical and results-oriented legal advice across a broad range of corporate, commercial and contentious matters.
Its character is closely shaped by Mr. Chris Lim Su Heng’s experience in Malaysia, Hong Kong, England and Wales, together with senior in-house roles involving corporate governance and commercial risk.
This background brings both legal and commercial perspective to the Firm’s work. Advice is considered not only in relation to the immediate legal issue, but also within the client’s wider business objectives and risk framework.
The practice is particularly distinguished by its experience across two complementary areas: complex corporate transactions and dispute resolution.
History and Evolution of the Firm
Messrs. Chris Lim Su Heng was formally established on 5 May 2000. Over the years, the Firm has grown into a full-service legal practice serving both Malaysian and international clients.
Its work now spans corporate advisory, commercial transactions, litigation, and a range of specialised areas of law, reflecting decades of continuous development and professional excellence.
This growth has been shaped by Mr. Lim’s professional journey across private practice and senior corporate roles, giving the Firm a perspective that balances legal principle with commercial reality.
Today, the Firm advises multinational corporations, public-listed companies, businesses, and private individuals while maintaining the personal attention, responsiveness, and accountability of a closely led practice.

Chris Lim Su Heng
Mr. Chris Lim Su Heng’s career spans legal practice in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, England and Wales. He has also held senior in-house positions involving corporate governance, legal risk and commercial decision-making. This experience gave him direct insight into the responsibilities faced by business owners, boards and management teams.
Mr. Lim considers himself both a corporate lawyer and a litigator.
His corporate experience informs how transactions, commercial relationships and governance structures are planned. His litigation experience provides an understanding of how those arrangements may later be challenged, interpreted or defended.
He has advised on complex corporate and commercial matters and acted in contentious proceedings extending to the Federal Court of Malaysia, including significant and reported decisions. This combination of advisory, corporate and courtroom experience continues to define the Firm’s perspective.
A Full-Service Practice across Transactions and Disputes
The Firm advises across a wide spectrum of corporate, commercial, contentious and private legal matters.
Its core capabilities include complex corporate transactions, corporate finance, restructuring, commercial agreements and governance. The Firm also handles civil, commercial and corporate disputes, arbitration and litigation extending to the Federal Court.
Its wider practice includes real estate, intellectual property, employment, family law, probate and other private-client matters.
This breadth allows the Firm to assist when a matter crosses more than one area of law. Corporate structures can be considered alongside regulatory and litigation risk, while disputes can be approached with an understanding of the commercial arrangements behind them.
The Firm’s experience is matched to the particular needs of each client, rather than applied through a standard solution.
The Firm’s Philosophy
Value Through Focused Advice
The Firm’s aim is to provide focused, insightful and value-added legal services.
Its lawyers draw on their respective experience and areas of practice according to the needs of each matter.
The objective is to deliver quality legal work with clear regard for the client’s commercial or personal priorities.
The Firm’s Philosophy
Practical and Tailored Solutions
Legal advice should work in practice.
The Firm therefore places emphasis on practical, results-oriented and customised solutions.
Advice is shaped around the client’s circumstances, operational requirements and intended outcome—not merely the legal issue in isolation.
The Firm’s Philosophy
Personal Attention
Clients receive personal attention, with every matter handled promptly and cost-effectively.
At the heart of this approach is a simple commitment: once a matter is entrusted to us, the client’s concerns become our concerns.
This reflects the Firm’s belief that legal representation carries a responsibility to understand each matter, share its burden, and remain closely engaged throughout.
