‘Boey Swee Siang is the partner that I work with. I've worked with Boey for almost 20 years now – I trust him with my life, literally. He has provided incredible counsel, advice and when necessary – litigation. He has protected me and my family from baseless litigation and done so expertly. His expertise is unparalleled, and his honesty and integrity beyond reproach. I have used quite a few law firms before meeting with Boey – some of the largest and most prominent in New York and London.
