Career

Aaron practices as a corporate and commercial litigator, primarily in areas involving fraud and white-collar offences, asset recovery, boardroom disputes, real estate and trusts, and commercial contractual disputes.  

On fraud and asset recovery matters, his experience includes acting for companies and statutory bodies involving the fraudulent transfer of lands, maritime cargo theft, and financial fraud through the manipulation of company records and misappropriation of inventory. He is familiar with Malaysian criminal law and procedures and often advises clients on these aspects in tandem with civil legal proceedings, including guiding them through the law enforcement processes.  

His experience in real estate matters include acting for property developers and joint management bodies in disputes involving commercial landlords and tenants, management of strata properties, housing development, and claims for misrepresentation and defects. He has represented registered proprietors in bringing judicial review proceedings against a public authority arising from a decision for compulsory land acquisition. 

He has also acted for company directors involved in boardroom disputes including successfully defending a former director against a claim for breach of fiduciary duties.  

In 2018, Aaron was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court in Sabah & Sarawak, and practised in Sabah mainly as a criminal defence lawyer. Prior to joining Lim Chee Wee Partnership, he worked in one of the largest law firms in Malaysia with a prominent dispute resolution practice.
