The firm, comprising Narayan and counsel Jason Lim, former senior associate at K&L Gates Straits Law, and Sathya Narayanan, who was a counsel at PDLegal, will focus on complex civil and commercial litigation, white-collar defence, and corporate work from regulatory compliance to corporate governance. “We aim to bring to clients a bespoke solution to their matters through our experience honed over many years of practice. With one eye on the law and the other on the unique practical considerations to every problem, we strive to uphold the highest standards of service to our clients,” the new boutique said in a statement. The three-member firm has plans to grow, but slowly and strategically. “The idea is not to grow too big, but to have a team that is fast, responsive and smart; and always practical and always keenly aware of client needs and realistic expectations,” Sreenivasan said in an email. Sreenivasan, who has 38 years of experience, was the managing partner of Singapore-based Straits Law before its 2019 merger with U.S. law firm K&L Gates to form K&L Gates Straits Law. After five years at the helm of the firm, “I decided that it was time to give up the load and distraction of management and focus on my craft,” Sreenivasan told ALB.
