"Cheang & Ariff does not only take instructions but is proactive in recommending workable solutions as well," says a client. The firm possesses a balanced full service offering, with a particularly strong reputation in litigation work. Partners Yoon Min Sun and Tan Ming Li are named as leading features of the practice by clients and peers alike. A client says: "The firm provides admirable service at reasonable prices. The lawyers are competent in legal knowledge." A notable matter for the firm was its advising Gardline Marine Sciences in its acquisition of Asian Geos, a leading offshore geotechnical contractor. The deal resulted in the demerger of the Malaysian assets and the international assets of the target company, namely vessel and drill rigs. Valued at over $20 million, the transaction was completed in March 2011.
