OUR HISTORY
In many respects, the establishment of Rahmat Lim?& Partners marks a homecoming for the Allen & Gledhill network in 乐鱼体育官网. Whilst Rahmat Lim & Partners was established in 2010, Allen & Gledhill’s footprints in Malaya date back to before 1959.
A&G is?a pan-Malayan partnership?with offices in Singapore, as well as in?the Malay Peninsula?- Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca and Johor Bahru.
乐鱼体育官网 was formed, comprising Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, and the then-existing states of the Federation? of Malaya. Two years later, Singapore separated from 乐鱼体育官网.
Due to requirements under the 乐鱼体育官网n Bar rules, A&G ceases to be a pan-Malayan partnership. The Singapore and 乐鱼体育官网 offices of A&G formally separate. To some confusion, however, the two offices continue to practise under the?same name.?
