2019年的时候,是我人生第一次打官司。还记得那年是我一位老师介绍 Bryan 给我的,因为老师曾跟 Bryan 交接过并且官司胜诉。

非常感恩自己虽第一次打官司遇到的是一家专业的律师团队 ——— Bryan Ho 与他的团队 Kai Hwei、Kimberly Ng 。

从准备文件到开始进行诉讼,我们有过无数个线上线下的会议,每一步他们都特别上心、谨慎以及责任心。整个期间,真的看见他们付出了百分百的用心、心思去打。

在低谷的这段期间,他们陪伴着我 鼓励着我前行的同时也给了我很多专业的法律意见。他们不仅仅是我专业的律师团队,也是我人生中非常感恩遇见的良师益友。


English Translation

2019 was the first time in my life that I commenced a legal suit. I still remember that one of my mentors introduced Bryan to me that year, because the teacher had dealt with Bryan and won in that suit.

I am very grateful that although it was my first time commencing a legal suit, I met a professional team of lawyers——Bryan Ho and his team, Kai Hwei and Kimberly Ng.

From preparing documents to commencing legal actions, we had countless online and offline meetings, and they were extremely attentive, cautious and responsible every step of the way. Throughout the entire period, I witnessed first hand their unwavering commitment, as they dedicated their hearts and minds entirely to my legal suits.

During this challenging period, they stood by me, providing encouragement to persevere and offering valuable legal guidance. They are not just my legal team, but also mentors and supportive friends whom I am deeply grateful to have encountered in my life.

I was introduced to Bryan by a senior lawyer a couple of years ago. He came highly recommended in the area of construction law and civil disputes. At that time, one of my development companies was locked in a legal tussle with a major sub-contractor and we urgently required fresh legal representation. We had to defend against a multi-million dollar suit and at the same time resist execution proceedings from a prior adjudication decision. The Ho Partnership team including Kimberly and Kai Hwei were accurate in their advice and swift in their action.

 

Aside from construction law disputes, I have personally engaged the same team for other fast-paced corporate and commercial disputes, and they have returned favourable outcomes. The fee, I must admit, was higher than anticipated but the value received extended beyond the courtroom. I witnessed first hand the team’s thorough preparation in their office, where every glass wall of the meeting room was scribbled with what they call case theories, and trial notes. We even spent days before the trial thoroughly preparing for it. Seeing that provided me with the peace of mind that I was in safe hands.

 

I must commend Bryan, Kimberly and Kai Hwei for their exceptional effort and unwavering commitment. Thus, I have no hesitation in writing this testimonial and recommending them to others.

I’d engaged Bryan as co-counsel for several matters over the years, and have been very impressed by him and his team.

The matters include a shareholders' dispute where we successfully obtained an ex parte injunction to foil the attempt to defraud shares. The injunction orders were obtained within a short period of time from receipt of instructions, and the client from Hong Kong was very impressed by this. This matter involved a demanding client and aggressive opponent, and multiple interlocutory applications had to be filed and defended as well. Bryan remained responsive and diligent amidst the tight timelines and pressure. He was assisted by Gary in this matter.

Another matter I’ve been working on with Bryan, concerns a group action by purchasers filed in the High Court against a housing developer, regarding defective houses. The matter involves expert evidence by geotechnical engineers. There were also multiple interlocutory applications, and a fairly difficult opponent. Bryan demonstrated great enthusiasm, passion and perseverance in advancing the rights of the wronged clients. He is assisted by Kimberly and Hermione in this matter.

Both Kimberly and Hermione have demonstrated amazing work ethics and are highly responsive - a testament to the culture and training in the firm. Kimberly is very intelligent, with good research skills. And Hermione is a pleasure to work with, possessing a very likeable temperament.

I would add that Bryan is a terribly industrious lawyer with a good legal mind, and I would recommend him for either counsel or solicitor’s work.

I met Bryan in 2012 when my then company engaged the services of his firm. Bryan represented us in various matters, including a dispute between shareholders and other construction claims disputes. Despite his then young age, he was articulate and precise in his arguments. His knowledge on shareholder disputes and construction law helped us to obtain favourable outcomes.

 

Fast forward to more than 10 years later, I still engage Bryan for complicated commercial and construction matters. I have also referred him to my fellow peers in the construction industry, with the most recent engagement involving the LRT3 project. I understand that they were successful in obtaining payment from the main contractor.  I am confident that Bryan and his team will continue to achieve greater success in the near future.
