The firm's history, principles and ethics.

Our Story.


Since 2013, we have assisted our clients to navigate and execute high-stakes complex corporate and commercial transactions in an ever-changing business environment.

Julius Leonie Chai is a boutique corporate law firm that was founded in 2013 by a small team of young lawyers and headquartered then in the second story of an old shop-office in Petaling Jaya. We have since grown to an established mid-size practice offering a wide spectrum of multidisciplinary and specialist corporate practice areas and supported by a vibrant and energetic cadre of talented associates. Our success is predicated on the following principles and ethics that each member of firm unwaveringly adheres to.


Clarity of Purpose, Precision in Execution

We solve our clients' most complex and demanding legal and business challenges by conceiving creative and practical solutions with clarity of purpose that are executed with precision, often leading to remarkable successes for our clients. We move complex high-stakes transactions to the finish line by taking cognisance of our clients' distinctive businesses and commercial objectives coupled with deep understanding of the local legal landscape and market practice. Following this approach, we have successfully represented businesses of all sizes and levels of complexity, from multinational energy companies to the stealthy two-man technology startup toiling in obscurity with cost-effective legal solutions.


Uncompromising Ethics

Every member of our firm including our critical business support team observes and adheres to a strict code of conduct that emphasises on integrity, probity and proficiency. Because of this, the firm's attrition rate has been remarkably low. Fully cognisant of the fact that the reputation of the firm is sacrosanct, we work resolutely to preserve and grow it for the long term. 


Client Centric Driven

The firm's clients are its most important relationships, which we support with pragmatic legal counsel that couples business and commercial acumen delivered with a human touch. Whether the deal is to enter new foreign markets or complementing routine business operations with ancillary legal support and advice, we strive to carry out our duties to our clients with diligence and enthusiasm.


Core Business Support Team

The firm's practice groups are supported by an indispensable team of high-accomplished and tireless business support staff which we consider our peers rather than subordinates. From our veteran administrative clerks to our peerless office manager, Arvin, the firm would achieve much less without the concerted efforts of this critical component of our practice.
