On a recent trip to London, the Firm’s Managing Partner, Mr. Steven Thiru, made a mark at two notable events.
The first event was an engagement session organised by The United Kingdom & Eire Malaysian Law Students’ Union (“KPUM”) titled ‘An evening of Legal Insights and Dinner with Mr. Steven Thiru’, which took place on 28th September 2024.
Mr. Steven, who had the privilege of being invited as the speaker for the evening, shared his insights and gleaned from his experience as a senior lawyer on navigating the early years of practice. He answered questions on the challenges faced by young, budding lawyers, and gave pointers on how one can thrive in an ever-changing legal industry, now increasingly driven by technology. Finally, the evening concluded with a dinner.
Following this, Mr. Steven was present at the Opening of the Legal Year in England and Wales as a representative of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association (“CLA”), in his capacity as Exco and Council Member. The historic annual ceremony, which was joined by international judges and bar leaders from over 60 law societies and bar associations across the world, happened on 1st October 2024, at Westminster Abbey, London.
Mr. Steven, also the former Vice President (Australasia) of the CLA, was later in attendance at the Commonwealth Bar Leaders Briefing co-hosted by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association and the Law Society of England and Wales, where he presented highlights pertaining to ongoing initiatives and strategic plans of the CLA.
We thank KPUM and the CLA for their partnership and collaboration with our Firm and look forward to more opportunities to build the Malaysian legal profession and strengthen its bond with legal counterparts across the globe.
