PK Wong & Nair LLC is an amalgamation of the firms, PK Wong & Associates LLC and Nair & Co LLC. This amalgamation enables our two leading law firms in their respective fields to combine our strengths to forge an even stronger, full service law firm capable of supporting the growing needs of our clients well into the future.

PK Wong and Associates LLC was formed as a limited liability law corporation on 1 March 2004 by Mr. Wong Peng Koon and Mr. Mark Wong. Prior to this, the firm’s previous iteration was as the partnership of PK Wong & Advani which was co-founded by Mr. Wong Peng Koon in 1986. Mr. Wong Peng Koon was previously a senior partner in one of the largest law firms in Singapore. The other principal directors of the firm, Andrew Ang, Jennifer Chih and Basil Ong joined shortly after the firm was corporatised and they have been working together as a team for over 12 years now.

Nair & Co LLC was a boutique Dispute Resolution and Restructuring & Insolvency practice that had its roots in one of Singapore’s largest law firms. It was founded by Mr Suresh Nair in August 2017. The firm and its lawyers have been ranked regularly in legal publications, receiving praise from clients especially for their Disputes and Insolvency work.
