A peer notes: "CCW Partnership definitely belongs in the top tier." The firm takes advantage of a strong litigious practice that ably augments its formidable financial and corporate expertise.
A client singles out key partner Andrew Ong for praise: "[He] is a lawyer with good personality and experience. Above all he observes good professional ethics." About the firm, the client continues: "[The people there] have many professional attributes. [They are] honest, experienced, and passionate. [They charge] reasonable fees, are down to earth and [their] legal services and advice are excellent."
Heavily involved with work both domestically and internationally, the firm counts among its clients multinational entities such as Standard Chartered Bank and IBM Malaysia, as well as domestic interests such as North Borneo Trading (NBT), one of the largest vehicle distributors in Brunei, and Baiduri Bank Group, one of the leading banks in the country.
A corporate client recommends the firm's international capability in detail: "I believe that [CCW Partnership] is one of the top legal firms [in Brunei]. They have good references and great testimonials. In one of the international cases involved with this firm, there were some very specific legal matters where second opinions were necessary. The principal partner was able to connect with an associate in London who was very experienced in the area in question and an opinion was obtained... in short I'm very pleased with the service."
Notable transactions from the firm in the past year include advising a US-based multinational bank in a sale of securities in Brunei, advising a Singaporean bank in a matter regarding credit facilities granted to a Brunei multinational company, and advising a local statutory body in a consultancy agreement for an airport project.
