Skrine

About Us

On 1 May 1963, John Skrine and his like-minded partners Stanley Peddie, Peter Mooney, William Donald Bewsher, and Chin Yoong Chong founded Skrine & Co, guided by the belief that integrity is the cornerstone of the practice of law. Together, they built the firm by taking care of its people and delivering the highest levels of service to clients. It always adheres to the purpose of justice and dedication.

This ethos attracted some of the best legal minds in Malaysia, which in turn resulted in a blue-chip client list and the respect of peers. The firm flourished and grew, and with that came global recognition from clients and firms around the world.

Skrine & Co. became simply known as Skrine on 1 January 2000. Today, the firm has become one of the country’s oldest law firms, the largest in scale, and one of the most award-winning law firms. It enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide. It has a large number of highly respected practice teams that can satisfy the increasingly diverse clients' demand. We remain steadfast in our commitment to the development of legal minds. And the improvement of the community in which we live.

In a borderless and increasingly competitive world, the law is challenged in new ways every day. Skrine remains resolutely committed to its founding principles: Wisdom.  Fortitude.  Ingenuity.
