About

One of the most experienced in-house counsel in the region, Suit Mae Choo has made a major mark on the Southeast Asian legal community. Not only did she have an extremely successful private practice career culminating in a position as partner at Skrine in Malaysia, but has been a major force in the Sime Darby Property legal department since 2006. Originally taken on as head of legal and strategy after comprehensively impressing the senior management of the company, Choo was in the thick of the action from a very early period, succeeding in very demanding circumstances given the company was involved in a very complex merger which she was required to display her abilities on. She has continued to succeed at the company ever since, being made group general counsel in 2010.
