Our practice was first established in 1978 by Mr. Lie Kee Pong as Lie Kee Pong Partnership. In 2007, we merged with another growing law firm to become Characterist LLC.
From our beginnings as a sole-proprietorship, we have since grown into a full-service law firm offering comprehensive, competent and cost-effective legal solutions while retaining specialized expertise across multiple practice areas. These include litigation and dispute resolution, corporate and commercial law, property and real estate, insurance and personal injury, criminal litigation and advocacy, family and matrimonial law, trust, estate planning, probate and administration, construction and intellectual property. Our clients include individuals, professionals and businesses, including SMEs, MNCs, Statutory Boards and listed companies on various exchanges.
But wherever and however we grow, we remain rooted to our values – we want to live out our values at work, to be a firm that connects with our clients and our community to effect change.
The values you believe in determine what you do, and how you do it.
At Characterist LLC, our values drive us, at the place where we work, how we work, and what kind of lawyers we want to be. And these values work, because our clients appreciate and value our legal services.
Competence: As a full-service law firm, we offer a depth of expertise across a breadth of areas of practice. This accumulated wealth of knowledge and experience is reflected in the quality of our work – our clients can see that in everything we do, we solve problems effectively and practically.
Character: Values determine character. And our values determine ours. As a firm, we strive to translate into making a positive and valuable difference for you, your business and your family.
Catalyst: Change is a constant in life. The question is whether it is positive or negative. We aspire to be a catalyst of positive change in the lives of our colleagues, our clients and our society.
